The guest is usually assigned one of the host's IP addresses. That means
it can't access the host itself via its usual address. The
--nat-host-loopback option (enabled by default with the gateway address)
allows the guest to contact the host. However, connections forwarded this
way appear on the host to have originated from the loopback interface,
which isn't always desirable.
Add a new --nat-guest-addr option, which acts similarly but forwarded
connections will go to the host's external address, instead of loopback.
If '-a' is used, so the guest's address is not the same as the host's,
this
will instead forward to whatever host-visible site is shadowed by the
guest's assigned address.
