The easiest way that I found to do this is to configure a bridge on your
physical host's NIC, and then configure the KVM guest to use the shared
device.
I used the following general howto to originally get this set up:

Hello,
The host runs on CentOS 6. I have installed a guest, CentOS 5.7, using
libvirt.
I am having difficulty understanding how to assign a public static IP address
to the guest. From what I understand by reading the Wiki, I think I require
routed mode.
The ISP has provided a 'portable' IP routed to the VLAN of our servers. I
want to assign this IP address to the guest. From the virtual machine
hardware details window, I see that "Virtual network 'default' : NAT" is
selected for the source device field.
Can someone offer a helping hand and instruct and educate me on how to
proceed from here?
Thanks.
