    Well, for now what I am going to do is create a private 10.x.x.x
    network inside LEAF, so it will be possible to communicate with your
    running vkernel from your leaf account, but not from the outside.

    Making things work from the outside would be a major task because I
    would have to give the user-run vkernels direct access to my /26,
    and my security isn't really set up for that.

    I may be able to swing giving the vkernel access to the outside world
    via NAT, however.  I would have to bridge the 10.x.x.x network to my
    router.  Once I get basic user-mode networking working I'll look into
    it.
