I'm planning on migrating my SME 9 installation to a guest under a local Proxmox 4 server. Both the Proxmox wiki (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/SMEServer_KVM) and the contribs.org wiki (http://wiki.contribs.org/Virtual_SME_Server#Proxmox) have entries with quite a bit of useful information. But I'm a little confused by some of the steps in the contribs.org wiki.
It looks like the contribs.org wiki is specifically dealing with installing SME under Proxmox on the online.net hosting service, and perhaps that's why the added template fragments are necessary. I can't otherwise understand why they'd be needed. Perhaps if I explain my intended setup it will help.
Given a proxmox box (say that three times quickly) with three NICs, eth0, eth1, and eth2, bridged to vmbr0, vmbr1, and vmbr2, respectively. The proxmox management interface runs on vmbr0, with an IP address within my LAN subnet. I determine from the shell on the proxmox box that eth1 is the physical device I want to connect to the WAN, and eth2 to the LAN. The other interfaces, vmbr1 and vmbr2, are passed through to the SME Server guest installation; vmbr1 is set up as the WAN interface, and vmbr2 as the LAN interface.
Given this configuration, are the manual config settings and custom templates described on the contribs.org wiki necessary? I don't see why they would be, but it's always possible I'm missing something.

Nope, no manual settings required. Simply follow Proxmox rules and within the guest the SME rules.
Indeed the manual stuff is for a specific situation only.

Great, thanks for the confirmation.
