I had the opposite problem. Needed to use multiple bridges and have some VMs behind NAT without a bridge (private IPs), and some using separately firewalled bridges (needed to behave like real attached hardware with their original MACs, but be firewalled). I couldn't see how to do it easily with libvirt, so used qemu directly. -- Jamie
