Why do you want to manage IP's from the VM itself? If you want predictable IP's for your VM's you can use static assignments in DHCP servers. Just prefill an address range with MAC's for future VM's and you're done. Just make sure that the VM gets the right IP in ONE (and therefore the right MAC-address) and off you go. Together with MAC/ARP spoofing protection [1] you can be assured that a VM is only able to use the IP you've configured. Oh, and there already is an integration possible, see [2]. If you really want to manage the DHCP server from the VM itself there are more possibilities (discussed on this list some time ago): [3], and [4,5] including examples. Gr.
