Hey there,
     Yes, this should be totally possible, although there are a few steps you'll
have to take on the host machine.  First, make sure your developer WUI is
running, then:

1)  Copy /etc/krb5.conf from the WUI onto your host machine (something like "scp
192.168.50.2:/etc/krb5.conf /etc" should do it)
2)  Modify the /etc/krb5.conf to point to the WUI machine; you'll need to change:

kdc = management.priv.ovirt.org:88
admin_server = management.priv.ovirt.org:749

to:

kdc = 192.168.50.2:88
admin_server = 192.168.50.2:749

3)  kinit ovirtadmin at PRIV.OVIRT.ORG (password is ovirt)

4)  Start up firefox on your host machine, then go to about:config, type in
"negotiate", and then edit:

network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris -> priv.ovirt.org
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris -> priv.ovirt.org

That should be it; you should now be able to browse to http://192.168.50.2/ovirt
and see the management WUI from the host machine.
