Multiple NAT interfaces

Hi

I using VMWare Workstation 15 Pro (15.5.0) together with GNS3 (2.1.21)

At the moment my Cloud Appliance objects all connect to a NAT'ed VMWare

interface and obtain a DHCP address from a common pool which is assigned

to this interface. They can all reach beyond their virtual confines 

However each Cloud Appliance connects through this same interface and

consequently obtains an IP from the same subnet; not very useful

Obviously I'd prefer that  my various WAN links reside on different subnets

but in VMWare Workstation I can only define one network interface as NAT'ed.

If I create additional interfaces they wil be set to host-only and thus won't

have access outside of the GNS3 project

Is there a solution or work around that will allow me to assign each Cloud

Appliance to a separate subnet AND allow it to be NAT'ed ?

regards

yann

I'm only vaguely familar with gns3, but what I do with my pfsense vm is have mutliple network cards, one in each of the custom network or lan segments in workstation, and then place an outbound interface in the workstation nat network or the bridged adapter. Doing this makes all of the custom ones nated through the vm router. Workstation can only do on NAT network natively, you need another vm to provide the network servicers to the other networks.
