Hi Andy, that really doesn't answer the question. I'm aware of how to hit guest VMs via the IP address, however that requires both a reworking of my application and - worse - setting up a bridged network and bouncing all requests off a shared router. In my situation I work a lot from a variety of coffee shops and the constant reconfiguration is a nonstarter. As I noted, this is certainly something that is possible as when you run an application in docker it does precisely this, allowing you to use localhost that is forwarded into the container (which outside of linux is in a VM.
