"Ok, that Ubuntu issue is a known problem. It saves the assignment of MAC ethX using an udev rule. Have a look at /etc/udev/rules.d and you will find a file 70-persistent-net.rules there. You can savely remove this file. This file is auto-generated by /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules. You can remove that file as well. From now on, the guest will no longer store the assignment between the MAC and ethX interface."

"When I'm developing, I try to continuously deploy to a realistic environment as often as possible. This means a Debian server running a stack as close to production as I can get. Of course, I don't deploy to the actual production servers (a lesson I've learnt many times over), so I virtualise a Debian box and clone package set from the production server. Combined with bridged networking and a quick hosts file change, and I've got a production-equivalent server always available at server.local."
