VM / macOSAMD
Description
This VM is for running macOS via dedicated hardware so I have something faster than my laptop.

Configuration
Because we want macOS to route all traffic destined for blackbox.hermz over our 10GbE network we need to adjust our routing table to redirect all traffic to LXC / Routeman first.
Knowing that blackbox.hermz has ip addresses 10.0.2.2, and 10.0.2.3 and all of its services run with 10.0.4.x we can easily setup some updated routes.
# 10.0.2.2 (main interface) and 10.0.2.3 (admin interface)
ip route add 10.0.2.2/31 dev en1 via 10.0.10.6
# 10.0.4.x (services running on blackbox)
ip route add 10.0.4.0/24 dev en1 via 10.0.10.6
This works perfectly except it isn't persistent.
