I want to rebuild my test lab. Right now I have a server with KVM and I want to add my new desktop on the loop. In my desktop I use VirtualBox as a hypervisor. What I want to achieve is more or less the following diagram:

Some more information:
- The default GW is my CPE
- Test LAN is 192.168.0.0/24
- KVM LAN is 192.168.0.0/24
- DNS is provided by the Server (192.168.0.2)
- DHCP for the Test LAN is provided by the CPE
- DHCP for the KVM LAN is provided by the KVM
What I want is:
- Provision VMs using Foreman either in the KVM (192.168.22.0/24) or in my Test (192.168.0.0/24) network.
- Establish a bidirectional communication between my local LAN machines and the the KVM network.
- Manage VMs from my Ansible machine (which resides in my Test LAN with the IP 192.168.0.250).
My questions are:
- I understand that I need to create at least one bridge between the KVM and Test network. Where should I create that bridge? (The how is not that important at the moment).
- Do I need to modify the KVM network configuration in order to support that bridge?
- Do I need to add static routes on the machines that are on the Test LAN? If yes, is there a way to eliminate that?
- My CPE is able to use a second IP. Should I define a second IP in the CPE and use this device as a bridge? Will that be better/simpler?
Thank you in advance
