Trying to configure eth0 for dhco. I added NET_ADMIN to bcapabilities
(Not secure but NET_RAW and NET_BROADCAST didn't help).

Doing dhclient eth0 on the guest,

#dhclient eth0
Cannot find device "etho"

eth0 is now lost.

From one of the earlier mails on the list, it appears that dhcp does
not give real advantage. But in my case, I would have to automate
stuff (for instance, host gets it address through dhcp and hence the
address of guest is not fixed). Also I have to avoid address conflicts
- can two VPS on the same subnet have a common IP - in other words is
the guest IP visible outside the host ?
