Okay, is this using Flat Networking or something else?
What's the significance of the 169.254.169.254 address?  If I were to
add a host route at the external router, to where do I route it?

Would this give the VM unfettered access to the network?  I found last
time I tried flat networking, some packet filtering still occurred.
