Its easy with KVM too. You want 3 NICs per VM, so you need to pass the corresponding parameters(including qemu-ifup script) for 3 NICs to each VM. In the host you need to create 2 bridges: say br-eth1 and br-eth2. Make them as the interface on the host in place of the corresponding eth interfaces.(brct addbr br-eth1; ifcfg eth1 0.0.0.0 up; brctl addif br-eth eth1; assign eth1's ip and routes to breth1; same for eth2). In the corresponding qemu-ifup scripts of each interface use bridge=br-ethN (This basicaly translates to brctl addif br-ethN $1, where $ is the tap device created) This should work perfectly fine with your existing NW setup.
