Can somebody point me to the correct method of configuring kvm

I have kvm running now in the default mode, which implements NAT /
DHCP. It works great, except I have some stupid Windows apps that
need to communicate with stupid network appliances on the main LAN.
They need to appear as same-subnet devices to the Windows apps.
There is a little too much info out there about kvm/qemu networking,
most of which is obsolete. Pointers appreciated!
I have been using this recipe here:

Basically make your eth0 a peth0, then make a eth0 bridge and tell
libvirt to use that bridge.
