Faced with the same dilemma when running oVirt on Lago on my MiniDell,
I've simply setup Apache on it to proxy HTTP traffic into the VM
network.
With a browser proxy plugin such as foxy proxy configured to make the
browser also resolve DNS for domains with certain suffixes over the
proxy, I've got a pretty seamless user experience without giving up on
the environment isolation.

If you want this to be self-contained in a script you give developers,
you can perhaps use the Ruby or Python built-in HTTP servers to do the
proxying.
