[libvirt] routed networking

[Ben Guthro]

Hello

Perhaps this is my limited understanding of bridging, and I would 
appreciate someone to educate me in the way this is supposed to work, 
and/or point me to the documentation on where this is covered.

If I create a routed network using the following xml:
<network>
        <name>mybr0</name>
        <bridge name="mybr0" />
        <ip address="10.1.220.1" netmask="255.255.255.0" />
        <forward type="route" dev="eth1"/>
</network>

I would expect to see the eth1 interface enslaved to this bridge.
However, "brctl show" does not show any devices enslaved.

My goal is to have the guest get its IP address from a DHCP server not 
on dom0, but out on the network attached to by eth1, but as my guest 
comes up, I see its virtual NIC added to the bridge, but without the 
connection to eth1, it never has the proper connectivity.

Any help understanding this would be appreciated.
