I read this document, and it seems to be doing basically what you get with libvirt, except libvirt does all that for you (but uses brctl instead of vde (I'm not sure what the differences are)). Anyway it seems like libvirt may be another alternative for you. It takes care of the bridging/dnsmasq/masquerading stuff for you and also has some nice management features (and a gui). -a
