My KVMs use a virtio device bridge and don't occupy a different lease than the physical NIC on my host machine. virt-manager should be able to setup the bridge for you.

I'm a big fan of bridging the hosts interface so that the guest kvm can
access the LAN directly. I avoid NAT if possible.
As for DNS, you could hack your etc hosts file or better yet use a
caching dns server on your router. I prefer openwrt for this kind of
setup. Very solid and flexible (for "normal" network setups).
