I have a domU set up as a nat router/dhcp server and another domU on the
same box that is used as a test client.  The test domU gets its DHCP
address from the dhcp server but other than that no traffic between
hosts is acknowledged by the other, not even a single, diminuitive
packet.  The OS's used are all ubuntu server.  Traffic can get in and
out of the domU server just fine except traffic that is intended for the
client.

Where did I go wrong?  What higher force saw fit to punish me in this
punitive manner?  Will I be able to get a date this Friday?  These are
questions we must all confront sometime in our lives.

UPDATE: Just before sending this email I noticed that traffic between
the two domUs starts flowing as expected only after I ping the client
from the server, however I'm still mystified as to what is really going
on.
