(I'm assuming that you are using virtualbox, since type='internal' isn't
supported for any other hypervisor.)

I don't use virtualbox, so I'm unfamiliar with interface
type='internal', and support for it was apparently added before we
became strict about all new XML additions requiring a matching addition
to the documentation. However, looking through domain_conf.c, I see that
this type of interface requires a <source> element with a *name*
attribute (not network, as you've given). So I guess try it with <source
name='eth0'/>.

Beyond that, I don't know if 'eth0' is an appropriate value for the
name, whether the <model> you've specified is proper, or if you need any
extra setup outside of the libvirt domain config.

To quote Eric's recent reply to another message to the list containing
the same boilerplate (and, not surprisingly, from someone else at the
same company as you):

  This is a publicly-archived mailing list, where such disclaimers are
  unenforceable and considered poor netiquette.  You might want to
  consider sending mail from a personal account that doesn't have this
  junk slammed on by your employer.
