Besides that it's technically not possible in the way we currently use the Linux Bridge [1], I'm not sure what's to gain from representing a single "flat" network with multiple representations. Seems to me like there may be a couple different points here: * ovirtmgmt is VM network by default - should be configurable on setup and/or DC creation. If it's such a prevalent issue, we should consider a default of non VM network (users can create a flat network and use it quite easily anyway, if they want).

From a UX point of view I don't think this would be desireable. I think

* if people want to represent different L3 networks on the same L2 network, it is worthwhile to design a proper solution Either way, I wouldn't push for allowing multiple bridged networks on the same physical interface (or bond).
