This is just doing routing.  There's a much easier way to do this with 
libvirt.  See:

http://www.libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesRoute

DHCP will never work because you've technically created a separate 
subnet.  You could run a local copy of dnsmasq to manage the range of IP 
addresses you're reserved for your private subnet though.
