OK, either I have taken a stupid pill and am missing something basic or
routed network do not work.
I assume that, if they did work, it would be in more or less that same
manner as a nat network as far as ping'ing, ssh'ing, etc. to another
real host on the same real LAN as the virtualization host. At least that
is what I believe I should expect.
I have googled for info and everything says that it should work. On of
the referenced documents was this:
http://berrange.com/posts/2009/12/13/routed-subnets-without-nat-for-libvi...
I checked through everything and it all matches what is in the
document. I can go from the guest to the host (ping, ssh, etc) but not
from that guest to another real host on the same real LAN.
I am patching the relevant info below:
----------------------------------
net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding = 1
net.ipv4.conf.p32p1.forwarding = 1
net.ipv4.conf.virbr8.forwarding = 1

This is Fedora 17 with an updated libvirt 0.10.1-4.fc17 [another system
with the same "problem" is running libvirt 0.10.2-1.fc17].
Anyone know what is going on?
BTW, I searched bugzilla for the comment containing the string routed
filed against packages libvirt, qemu, qemu-kvm, or kvm ...Result .. no hits!
If this is really a bug rather than something I did or did not do, then
nobody is using routed virtual networks.
BTW, I have a real F17 systems sitting between to networks on two
different NICs and it routes things nicely, thank you very much. It
does work but not for the virtual networks.
I would really like it to be something I am missing.
