If I were you, I would set up my network as follows:

Real network
- eth0: IP: 10.0.0.1 Gateway: w.x.y.z

Virtual network
- br0:  IP:192.168.0.254 (this is the "internal" "network" of VMs)
- veth0: IP: 192.168.0.1 Gateway: 192.168.0.254 (a virtual interface of 
a VM)

The VMs would see your host as a gateway... With this setup you can 
simply use the FORWARD chain for NAT/filter/etc....
