Gateway is at 10.0.0.254
so set your guest with
network 10.0.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0

address 10.0.0.5   <--- your choice

whatever address you choose on the above network, must be set in both 
ifcfg-eth0 and in your domU config

vif = ['ip=10.0.0.5,mac=00:16:3e:aa:bb:cc']

yes, but in addition to above comments add:

echo 'net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
