Thanks for your interest in oVirt :)

Right now we don't have support for VLAN or VPN functionality, which is 
what this sounds like.  We have discussed using open source tools like 
Openswan to create a virtual network between a set of oVirt Nodes and that 
is on the long term roadmap, but is still a while away.

However, if you want to lend a hand to accelerate the process we would 
certainly welcome the help.

Thanks,

Perry
