I've done many a google search and have not found a solution. Here is the issue.

I have a server with 4 physical nics (eth0, 1,2,3). I bridge eth0 and eth1 to be used by my 4 virtual machines (the load of network traffic is light so I put 2 VMs to each bridge. I have the additional two physical nics (2,3) available and I need to assign them to 2 of my virtual machines in order for the VMs to connect to devices directly on a private subnet (the devices are software defined radios and they pass a ton of traffic).

The layout just to ensure I have it right is this

VM 1 ---- bridge0 (Public IPs)
VM 2 ---- bridge0 (Public IPs)
VM 3 ---- bridge1 (Public IPs)
VM 4 ---- bridge1 (Public IPs)

VM3 requires connection to 1st SDR through physical nic eth2 (Private IP space)
VM4 requires connection to 2nd SDR through physicl nic eth3 (Private IP space)

Any ideas??? Bridge the other two?? If so how do I assign multiple nics to the VMs??
