The problem is not with iptables, but rather that you are nating to
an IP that the host doesn't respond to. Hence the ARP requests for
those IPs remain unanswered.

There are two ways to get around this:

1) Run an arp daemon that answers those requests
2) set up eth0:1 and eth0:2 with the external IPs of the VMs

Though, far easier would be, to connect br0 directly to eth0
and give the VMs those two external IPs
