If OVH is using MAC Filtering than you cannot bridge eth0 unless you create
the bridge
using the same MAC address as the one eth0 has. Never tried so I just
suppose it
could work.

You have at least three choices, you can either NAT a private class over
eth0 and define that
network in OpenNebula, you can acquire a /29 block, create a bridge, set
the first public IP
address on it and define the network in OpenNebula, or a combination of
both.

You can choose to use Linux bridge or OpenvSwitch. Either of the two are
really easy to
set up and running. OpenNebula has network drivers for both of them. I
would choose
OpenvSwitch :).

Best,
Valentin
