I am not sure if yo have the same kind of virtual network structure as I 
have. Anyway, my xml file (CentOS 5.6 on both host and guest) says simply:
     <interface type='bridge'>
       <mac address='54:52:00:3d:aa:46'/>
       <source bridge='br0'/>
       <model type='virtio'/>
     </interface>

I have one physical nic, one bridge (br0), one external ip address per 
guest. No NAT.

BTW, I now notice that I have wrong MAC address (54:52), and you have it 
right (52:54), I probably got mine from "man virt-install" which 
contains an error:

Anyway, my vguests work fine.
