Correct.

So I assume you use network-route and vif-route scripts or its variant?
You have two options :
- install PV drivers for HVM domU so traffic can go through vif. AFAIK
none is available for the default Ubuntu kernel, so the easiest way si
actually to convert your Ubuntu HVM to PV.
- use bridging setup, and setup NAT with iptables. This is what
libvirtd does, giving NATed address 192.168.122.0/24
