User mode Linux networking

Okay, I am playing around with user mode Linux, and I am having some networking problems.

What I would like: something like VirtualBox's NAT mode. The UML kernel sees one network interface. Some app running under UML sends a packet to Google, the host kernel forwards it through the correct interface on the host. The host receives a packet intended for guest, it forwards it to the guest kernel. Other computers never see the guest; as far as they can tell it's the host.

What all the tutorials seem to be about: setting the guest up with its own IP on a LAN, using a static IP.

It's probably just me being dense, but if there's a way to do the former, I haven't figured it out yet. Can anyone here help me out?

Re: User mode Linux networking

Okay, scratch that. I'll settle for any networking whatsoever, as long as it works with my router's DHCP server, as opposed to requiring a static IP address.

Help?
