One bridge connection, assign the machine IP to the bridge. Multiple
vbox interface (0, 1, 2, etc ). Do not assign any IPs to the vbox
interfaces. Assign the IP in the guest only.
I.E. br0 has address of 192.168.1.201
eth0 has address of 0.0.0.0
assign whatever unused address you'd like in the 192.168.1.xxx range
to the eth0 in the *guest*.
assign whatever ports you wish to the address of the guest.
