Would it be better to connect to the guest machine itself ? Ie set up 
the machine to run a shared virtual desktop rather than the virtual 
console display ?
That way, you never need to know where the guest is (ie which host 
it's on, or which port it's console is on), you just connect to it's 
IP address and it'll just work (as long as it's actually up at the 
time).
