What i have seen before is that the host side connects the different guests. In such a scenario, on the guest is a single port that connects to the host - the host worries (lets forget the switch/bridge for a sec) about how to get packets from guestX to guestY pending consultation of access control details. What is the advantage of direct domain-domain connection? Is it a scalable? cheers, jamal
