VM-eth promisc mode

I've configured vmbr1 with promisc mode enabled on Proxmox VE. Is there any chance to "forward" this traffic directly to the virtual machine?

Thanks.

Re: VM-eth promisc mode

Have you been able to figure out how to get this working? It sounds like I have the same issue. On the PROXMOX server I can tcpdump all the traffic on an interface connected to a tap, but the VM can only see the broadcast traffic. I would like to setup and test a couple of IDS's, but have to get this to work. In the past I used a product I do not care to mention, and do not want to be forced back. This is an awesome product, I just need to figure out what the heck I'm missing. I have tried setting eth1 and vmbr1 to promisc on the PROXMOX server plus eth1 to promisc on the VM.
Thanks to anyone who could provide some insight.
