I have install ovirt 4.2.3 and everything seems to be working fine: I can 
create virtual (Geneve overlay) networks for communication between virtual 
machines via the external provider ovirt-provider-ovn by using the OWS switch 
on the cluster. Live migrations and everything else within the virtual 
environment works perfectly :-)

For connections from virtual machines to physical VLAN's in a switch, I can 
also create a logical network which is created using the external provider 
ovirt-provider-ovn by specifying a connection to a physical VLAN network 
created as a separate data center network. This method requires that all 
ovirt-nodes (hosts) in the cluster have access to the physical network though.

What I am looking for is a way to implement a L2 Gateway such that (not all) 
ovirt nodes (hosts) need to have direct access to the physical network. What I 
am looking for is a way where virtual machines can communicate with the L2 
Gateway via virtual (Geneve overlay) networks. On the L2 Gateway the virtual 
network shall then be bridged to the physical VLAN on a dedicated network 
interface. My goal is that the virtual network and the physical network becomes 
one big broadcast domain.

This concept has been described by different people on the Internet such as 
these articles:
- https://weiti.org/ovn/2018/01/03/ovn-l2-breakout-options
- https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/L2-GW

How can I accomplish something similar in an ovirt-environment?

Thanks in advance,

Carl Grundholm
