Thanks, Mike. When running tcpdump on the VM I'm not seeing traffic unless it's explicitly intended for that particular VM, so no traffic between the other VMs is getting forwarded from the virtual interface to the "network appliance" VM.
There is connectivity between the VMs on the private network and the "network appliance" VM which is acting as a gateway.
Here's the output of the brctl command:

I'm not sure why virbr1-nic is showing up as disabled, and also why
That STP output says the virbr1-nic interface is disabled -- maybe your VM is powered off?
the vnet# interfaces don't show up (they do show up on another host, although VMs on that host are having the same non-promiscuous issue as these VMs). I've tried this with and without NAT, as well as with STP on/off with no effect.
You'll need to enable IP forwarding and set rules to route the traffic for those VMs. http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Networking#Routing_with_iptables
The gotcha is that if you're not doing any IP routing on the KVM node, your "network appliance" VM needs to have one NIC bridged to your real network and the other as part of virbr1. You could NAT it on the KVM host as well.
Read the KVM networking documentation as it will help you determine what configuration you have and if that's what you want.
