For the life of me I can't get this working in a static configuration... the following works but it's a bit ropey... I'd like it to be static.
I want to have 3 bridges for my VMs as follows:
- br1 - ldap db xmmp VMs - 10.0.1.6
- br2 - fileserver VM - 10.0.1.7 br3
- br3 - intranet svn/git VMs - 10.0.1.8
