Nope, makes perfect sense.  Question: can you do both?

That's how I have my virtualBox setup.  It gets 2 adapters.  Adapter 1 
is a bridge to the host OS's connection - and I don't run any servers on 
that interface.  Adapter 2 is an internal adapter is an internal only 
virtual network.  My host system has a virtual adapter connected to it, 
and every VM I run will also get a virtual adapter connected to it.

Mainly this means I can have everything up and running regardless of the 
status of my "real" network as my virtual network is always running.
