True. Good idea. I should be able to script that somewhat easily.

It seems logical that if the client got an IP from the dhcp server
that it would be in the arp cache, but that doesn't seem to always be the
case. After sending my email I had a guest not in the host's arp cache,
but the guest had an IP when I checked via the console.

Yeah, that's a good idea. In this particular case I'm building one-off
test VMs, so I'd rather not track anything extra :).

ciao,
