We're using pseudo dynamic dhcp (static IPs offered by DHCP-Server)
and IP/MAC lists generated automaticly for the VMs.
This saves from doing any ethernet setting inside the guest and
even saves from reinstalling the virtual network card because of a
reconfiguration of the vbridges.

Actually you unfortunately have to re-edit each vm-config after generate.
It would be nice if one could define a starting Base MAC and use
the VMID as the extention (or an increment) or at least the
possibility to change it manualy via the GUI.

interesting idea, but I guess that is to difficult to implement at the moment.

or at least the possibility to change it manualy via the GUI.

Will add that to our TODO list.
