Yes, this is the way it's currently set up to work. In the 2-or-more 
network use csae the admin network is intended for node communication 
only. On the node, the admin network is the only one that gets an IP, 
and the guests are not intended to use this network (in our testing 
environmnent the admin network is completely unconnected to anything but 
the oVirt server and the nodes). If your node had 3 NICs on it you'd 
have 2 networks to choose from for your guest.

There is a problem with the current implementation in that it does not 
support a single-network installation right now. We're currently working 
through determining what needs to be done to support this, but in the 
case where you only have a single network we will have to allow guests 
on the admin (and only) network.
