I say that 1:1 NAT can't be set up properly in the environment
described. 1:1 NAT maps a single internal IP address to a single
external IP address. With a VirtualBox guest the guest's network
interface is also the host's network interface. Using 1:1 NAT in this
environment means exposing the host's interface to public network
traffic.
