Thanks for the input also I only skimmed your documentation it seems to follow the same goal I have in mind. Also we have FAI under Debian I like the idea to just kick up some ramdisk only systems for quick testings and specially network test. And also beeing able to hide the laboratory from the eyes of the common people.
What bothers me about bridges is the best entry point in iptables to control it well enough. But thats low on the list as its working right now .
Surprising enough, I have a setup a lot like the one you're describing, a PXE install server as a VM on an offline network, with routing setup in IP tables and everything. I took the time to document it all, take a look at my website www.terminalmonkey.com - click on the 'Building a home lab' link.
