I seem to remember that,in the host machine, you can assign the NIC
dedicated to one VM (with IPCop) and create a virtual internal network
with virtual NICs in all the VMs, including IPCop.  You're still exposed
to the risk from defects in the host machine virtualisation software,
but it should prevent / control unrequested incomming connections.  But
you could do the same with any firewall on the host machine.
