I found this link, perhaps it is helpful:
http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_net_advanced_2hostonly_routing.html

I am working on setting up NAT on the host system using IPFW. I am sure 
you could do the same (or similar w/ netfilter).

I haven't quite figured out what exactly I want to do yet but I would 
imagine that it involves natting both 1:1, and regular NAT.
