I'm looking for a way to encapsulate applications on a firewall (IPCop). My line of reasoning is an encapsulated extension environment would help protect the integrity of the firewall and give users greater latitude in creating extension applications. What I would like to do is install qemu as a "virtual server" residing on the DMZ/Orange network with its interface fully controlled by the Orange network firewall rules. I've run qemu and am slightly familiar with the tun/tap setup but I don't know its relationship to IP tables. Does is sit outside the rules like the raw device or inside?

on a related topic, is it possible to trigger a shutdown command (or even a reboot) and detect when the virtual machine has stopped running or had its hardware get the reboot signal so I can shut things down cleanly?
