Thanks. I will give this a read tonight while I am relaxing > with the "Red Hat Virtualization" guide. James, Sometimes it helps to read an explanation from two sources. At libvirt.org, the bridged networking (shared physical device) writeup gives similar info to the above link and can be found here: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Creating_network_initscripts Once you define the bridge in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, modify the host ifcfg-eth0 to include the BRIDGE= statement (and remove the normal BOOTPROTO= statement) and either disable netfilter on the bridge or add the physdev --physdev-is-bridged iptables rule, then you are basically done. Restart the network/iptables/libvirtd and you are good to go. Takes maybe 5 min. to set up and does not require any knowledge of brctl.
