I'm using KVM and libvirt on my host (Debian lenny) + 2 bridges per guest (one for mgmt, one for public traffic).
That setup isn't stable at all, sometimes I can do pings to a management ip, sometimes not.
I don't know if my bridging paramateres are correct, could you check ? or if there is anything wrong ...
Please also note that interface on guest doesn't flap and that I got not logs on my host.
Of course forwarding is enabled.
