Actually I have created a bridge network on the host; below is the current network configuration including br0.
The question is this:
How can a client in network 10.96.131.0/24 booting PXE find the FAI server?
Please consider that host is in the same network as client, but FAI server is in QEMU/KVM network only (default 192.168.100.0/24 and interal 192.168.33.0/24).
Do I need to configure port forward rules on host?
Or a reverse proxy?
