NAT and port forwarding can be OK for VM with a web server, or a VM with a database machine, a db machine can also not seing the internet at all but not for mail servers (i've 2), mail servers must have static/public ip on the NIC were the mail server itself is binded i want to virtualize my infrastructure, now 2 bare metal servers and create 3 VMs 2 for mail servers and db and one only for apache+php since apache+php is the most problematic application server massimo
