This is just doing routing. There's a much easier way to do this with
libvirt. See:
http://www.libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesRoute
DHCP will never work because you've technically created a separate
subnet. You could run a local copy of dnsmasq to manage the range of IP
addresses you're reserved for your private subnet though.
