3cdcb528ff nic_router: advanced timeout configuration
Replace former rtt_sec attribute of the <config> tag by more specific
(and still optional) attributes for timeouts used in the NIC router
(these are also the default values):

<config dhcp_discover_timeout_sec="10"
        dhcp_request_timeout_sec="10"
        dhcp_offer_timeout_sec="10"
        udp_idle_timeout_sec="30"
        tcp_idle_timeout_sec="600"
        tcp_max_segm_lifetime_sec="30">

Details about the new attributes can be found in the README of the router.

42b1eefe73 virtualbox_nic_router: two routers, all dynamic
Two nested NIC routers between virtualbox and the NIC driver.
Both routers are DHCP clients at the uplink and DHCP servers at the
downlink.

30a96706cb nic_router: dhcp server functionality
One can configure the NIC router to act as DHCP server at interfaces of a
domain by adding the <dhcp> tag to the configuration of the domain like
this:

<domain name="vbox" interface="10.0.1.1/24">
    <dhcp-server ip_first="10.0.1.80"
                 ip_last="10.0.1.100"
                 ip_lease_time_sec="3600"
                 dns_server="10.0.0.2"/>
    ...
</domain>

The attributes ip_first and ip_last define the available IPv4 address
range while ip_lease_time_sec defines the lifetime of an IPv4 address
assignment in seconds. The IPv4 address range must be in the subnet
defined by the interface attribute of the domain tag and must not cover
the IPv4 address in this attribute. The dns_server attribute gives the
IPv4 address of the DNS server that might also be in another subnet.
The lifetime of an offered assignment is the configured round trip time of
the router while the ip_lease_time_sec is applied only if the offer is
requested by the client in time.

The ports/run/virtualbox_nic_router.run script is an example of how to
use the new DHCP server functionality.
