And what is it that you do to prevent the virtual instance from
connecting to your local network?  Unless the physical machine has a
separate NIC used only by the virtual one, with separate
cabling/switching/vlanning that leads only to the Net and not to your
local network, then the virtual instance really does have access to your
local network and the assurance offered to the client is just an
illusion, surely.
