IT WORKS! :-) Restarting vdsmd was sufficient. Attaching the network
to the dummy NIC worked like a charm and a test VM is able to 
communicate
with the Node's dummy NIC. (I just need to setup routing on the Node to
get communication with the outside world running.)

Is there a chance to change it from a hard-coded value to a
configurable item in a future release of oVirt? Or maybe
have a better default value (dummy*) in a bugfix release?
