I'm not an expert but I guess "local" may be a bit different in
virtualization.
If "local" requirement is from license or security issues, there are ways
to completely hide the guest from outside networks (provide it only with a
host-to-guest (virtual) network) and it may qualify for local, looking
from the outside.
If it is from technical requirement and means non-tcp/ip, I guess there
may be programmatic solutions possible between host and guest.

Just thought it might be worth exploring.
