Hi Ben, So I tried what you suggested:
Added a bridge on both host 1 and host2. Also added a tap interface for the vms on both hosts. Next, I added the tap interfaces to the bridge on both hosts. Then I added eth0(the physical interfaces of both hosts) to the bridge. As soon as I do this, the machine just hangs. Any suggestions?
