[one-users] Network addressing and IP recognition in ONE

Hello all,
Network addressing under ONE (with any of the drivers) seems target to 
isolated/dedicated networks, where one can assume all IP address can be 
guessed by the MAC.
However, when mixing a working network segment with ONE, you have to 
sacrifice something to get it working.
Currently, there are 3 options:
- Virtual Router
- Virtual Network with fixed range
- Virtual Network without range

None of the mentioned options will fit with an external network services 
server (DHCP, DNS) and let ONE know the right address of a VM.

Would it be possible to, given a VM and all context parameters, push the 
IP information into ONE?
In a more practical approach: during the startup of the OS, get a valid 
IP address, and during the context script, push that information to ONE.
Seems a little bit more dynamic, since nothing is hardcoded either in 
Virtual Networks or in the network service (DHCP), plus it gives the 
ability to control from outside and integrated with other services.

Thanks!!
