If I have all of the kvm guests on both hosts, together with the br0
bridge on both hosts, configured with addresses on the same a.b.c.0/24
network then will all communication on a.b.c.0/24 pass over br0 if the
target address is on the other host?
kvmh1g1 eth0=192.168.51.100
kvmh1 br0=192.168.51.41
kvmh2 br0=192.168.51.42
kvmh2g1 eth0=192.168.51.200
In other words, with the address configuration given above, will
traffic from 192.168.51.200 reach 192.168.51.100 via the cross-over
cable between 192.168.51.42/192.168.51.41?
