yes, it is possible, but it does not give a real
advantage, because:
- the guest has the same MAC as the host
- it requires 'raw' network access to do DHCP
(which is no ip protocol)
so basically you would end up giving some caps
to the guest and specifying a 'special' client
identifier (i.e. a name or IP :) just to get
some IP assigned and have the dhcp client renew
it every 5 minutes or so ...
