Whats the problem? Define the static IP in your guests and it should work.

If I set up separate bridges, I think I need to do in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts on the host machine: 1. Set up ifcfg-eth0 with the ip information of the host (For example 192.168.2.200) 2. Set up ifcfg-eth0:1 for the first guest. It will have BRIDGE=br1 3. Create ifcfg-br1 with the IP info for the first guest (For example 192.168.2.201) 4. Set up ifcfg-eth0:2 for the second guest. It will have BRIDGE=br2 5. Create ifcfg-br2 with the IP info for the second guest (For example 192.168.2.202) Is this correct or did I miss something? The simplest thing is to use a single bridge for all - The physical nic should be part of it and supply the outside world connection. The physical nic doesn't need an IP and the bridge should own it.
