Nmap scanning VirtualBox

Hi all,

I just noticed that I was able to run an UDP scan from my host against a
"host-only" interface connected to a guest machine running Windows.
The virtual Windows machine is running in VirtualBox 4.1.18 on my OS X
10.7.4 host and as far as I can remember, this is the first time I've been
able to do this.

I guess there could be two possible explanations;
1. Some of the recent changes to the routing code fixed it.
2. Changes to the VirtualBox virtual interface, as of now I can even sniff
the interface using tcpdump!

Anyway, this makes script writing a whole lot easier, so I just wanted to
share this new exciting news :)
