public IP to guest kvm instance

[zenny]

Is there any way that the single public IP be assigned to a guest KVM instance of say pfSense and assign local IP to host? I know this is not ideal in production, but on times, it is helpful when resources (IP and Host HW) is scarce! Thanks!

Hi,
use an bridge on the host without IP and use the IP inside the VM (connected to that bridge of course).
