if you host the box in vagrant cloud, you can hace thar, 1 name 2 providers
in the vagrabt cloud you will be creating a pointer, not uploading the
actual machine, so nothing stops you to have a box that point to an
internal hostname
i think that will help you out of the box immediately..
alvaros-mini:~ alvarom$ vagrant box add hashicorp/precise64
*==> box: Loading metadata for box 'hashicorp/precise64'*
box: URL: https://vagrantcloud.com/hashicorp/precise64
This box can work with multiple providers! The providers that it
can work with are listed below. Please review the list and choose
the provider you will be working with.
1) hyperv
2) virtualbox
3) vmware_fusion
Enter your choice:
