This is almost 1 year old, but I did not notice it yet. I love the
detailed solution!
+1 on NAT network. Except that it can save ip address, it also could
reduce the external physical switch's pressure on mac table. Because the
VM's
mac address is invisible to external switch.
But there're two limitations of NAT network compared with physically
bridged network:
1. The VMs attached to the same NAT network, but on different hosts
can't hear each other. It could be resolved by constructing a tunnel or
tunnels
among the hosts in the same cluster and centralizing the mac
address management of dnsmasq on ovirt engine.
2. The VMs in NAT network are hidden behind the host. The external host
can't initiate a connection to the VM. I think it's fine for a desktop VM.\
For a server VM, it can't be resolved by add a DNAT rule on demand. It's
similar to the 'floating ip address' in quantum.
also need to remember live migration will probably not work with NAT.
how would floating IP work? wouldn't you need to map it 1:1 with the
NAT'd IP?

Yes, the rant there, about ovirt network being tightly-coupled with a
physical interface, is 100% justified. I'm trying to address some of
that inhttp://www.ovirt.org/Features/Nicless_Network but it's a long
way to go.
I managed to implement Virtualbox-hostonly-alike networks gathering more info
from:
http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html
.
You might be also interested in:http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking
although I didn't use it myself.
You might probably already know this information but, just in case, here it is.
