Thanks Reco. I just went to my server's site (I lost remote access with 
the current network setup) and reconfigured the network to use macvtap 
for bridge. Once I did that it worked like a charm.

After getting rid of the /etc/network/interfaces file (again) and 
reinstating the [network] section of my 
/etc/systermd/network/management.xml file to assign a static IP, all I 
had to do was use

   virsh edit <servername>

to modify the network settings. Basically I changed the entire network 
interface segment to:

    <interface type='direct'>
       <mac address='xx:x:xx:xx:xx:xx'/>
       <source dev='bond0' mode='bridge'/>
     </interface>

where you would replace the "xx" with a valid mac address. When I opened 
the virtual machine using the Virtual Machine Manager gui, I noticed it 
wanted to use an rtl8139 device for the nic, so I changed that to virtio 
then fired it up.

Everything is running great. I've got the remote access back and the 
local area network is behaving itself.
