Same as the NAT version of the policy so makes sense.

This is much more permissive than what I expected. Doesn't
this allow the VMs to have unrestricted access to anything
on the host ?

At a libvirt POV, the NAT and routed zones should be
identical, with the only difference being whether
masquerading is applied.

In terms of VM -> host, we still only want to allow the
small set of services, dns, dhcp, ssh AFAIK.



With regards,
Daniel
