This is almost 1 year old, but I did not notice it yet. I love the
detailed solution!
+1 on NAT network. Except that it can save ip address, it also
could
reduce the external physical switch's pressure on mac table. Because the
VM's
mac address is invisible to external switch.
But there're two limitations of NAT network compared with physically
bridged network:
1. The VMs attached to the same NAT network, but on different hosts
can't hear each other. It could be resolved by constructing a tunnel or
tunnels
among the hosts in the same cluster and centralizing the mac
address management of dnsmasq on ovirt engine.
2. The VMs in NAT network are hidden behind the host. The external host
can't initiate a connection to the VM. I think it's fine for a desktop VM.\
For a server VM, it can't be resolved by add a DNAT rule on demand. It's
similar to the 'floating ip address' in quantum.

Yes, the rant there, about ovirt network being tightly-coupled with a
physical interface, is 100% justified. I'm trying to address some of
that in http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Nicless_Network but it's a long
way to go.
