How to create a "closed" LAN between guests, with access to the outside world

Hi,

I'm looking for way to test Windows Server 2008 and several Windows Vista guests inside VMware Fusion. All guests should be able to communicate with each other, the Windows Server guest should be able to supply DHCP to the Vista guests (if possible). Fusions built-in DHCP server should be turned off, if possible. No communication (like DHCP) should escape from this LAN, since that would disturb our production environment, but in the perfect setup the guest should still be able to communicate with the Internet.

I've searched this forum and read the Fusion Networking White Paper, but I haven't been able to create a working solution since I'm really no expert at WMware. Can anyone tell me if it's possible and guide me to a working config?

Regards,

René Frej Nielsen
