Hello,

Quote:


I have five network cards for the host machine. In Xen, I was pretty accustomed to hiding network cards on the PCI bus from the host machine and assigning them to the virtual machine. It appears that I can do the same in OpenVZ.



Yes, --netdev_add option of vzctl utility.

But is there a better way? I have tried to read up on venet and veth devices. After reading the Wiki, it appeared that I should use veth, but traffic sniffing is possible which would appear to violate my desire not to have traffice between the subnets.



What about the following scenario?
Let's assume that we have two VEs: VE1 and VE2.
Create veth interfaces inside VE1 (veth1--eth1) and inside VE2(veth2--eth2).
Then unite veth1 and eth1 into one bridge and veth2 and eth2 into another one on the HN.
