Could a KVM virtual firewall work?

Anyone know of a reason why a setup like this *wouldn't* work: three physical network interfaces, bridges created for all three but two reserved exclusively for a guest operating system, the host won't even use them. Run cable modem into one, connect the other to uplink on a wireless router, run a cable from there back into the third interface for the host operating system.

Seems to me is should be doable but before I go break the bank on a $15 USB ethernet adapter (only have room for one more NIC on the motherboard) I thought I'd check. :) I guess the big question is around the bridged interfaces, must they have an IP assigned on the host? Hrm.
