That way, the ip address is assumed to be already setup and will neither be created when the vserver is started, nor be destroyed when the vserver is stopped.

[Vserver] bug or feature
Hi, By mistake I assigned to a guest the same IP than the host. I stopped the guest... and I lost the host ip... hard remote reboot... Is it possible to forbid assignment of host ip to a guest ?
