Well, the "contained" environment only has direct access to the host..
However, the host can route or bridge or nat via other methods...
If you give the vmnet interface a valid routable address you can set your
freebsd host to do ipforwarding and set up your routes and it'll work as
though it was a small ethernet with a real box on the other end instead of
an emulated system.
