Is it possible to pass the Network port to a virtual host and have a minimal Firewall, IDS/IPS install there and this virtual host to be the Gateway to the Network for the host as well as other virtual hosts? I am talking specifically Centos 6.2 & KVM/Xen. Also, what harware requirements need to be met. And most of all what security implications. Normally minimal software at the perimeter of the host should be a positive, but does virtualization impose any weaknesses? Rgds. Sanjay.
