AFAIK it can be done only with a vdsm hook. You'd need to define your VM with no interface at all, but instead, mark it with a special custom property you define. Then, you should write a hook that adds the two host interfaces to the VM, by means of either http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSDirect or http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSHostdev Most probably, you would need to pin your firewall VM to a specific host. Writing a hook is not too complex, but it requires understanding of how vdsm and libvirt works. You can take http://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=vdsm.git;a=tree;f=vdsm_hooks/vmfex as a reference, or ask for specific guidance here.
