and then you can assign _another_ IP to the guest or must assign the same?
A different IP or the two will fight during ARP resolution with both the
host and the guest trying to claim the IP address.

but, my main doubts is about to have a sever with several nics and several
guest. I think that a good approach (if it's possbile) is to have a an
specific nic for each guest. No?
Sure if you've got spare nic's in the host or you need maximum
performance then that may well be a good idea.
The single nic case that I described is more for the average person
running a few vms on their workstation.
