It's not clear from the diagram that (a) the FreeIPA server must be a 
separate guest (or separate machine) and (b) it needs to have a steady 
IP address and be available to other machines on the network.  In 
particular requirement (b) tends to rule out using qemu or KVM (for me, 
because I've never really worked out how to get user networking to have 
an IP address which isn't on the private 192.168.122.* network).

I'm unclear on why FreeIPA needs to be its own machine though.  Can we 
not set it up so it uses just its own port number by default?

Rich.
