I believe I need to use bridges, as the switch will allow the VM's to talk to each other unless I implement a second firewall (which I am trying to avoid), and I don't know of any other way to connect my interfaces besides a bridge, which are as follows:
I have a WAP on one interface, my Debian server with the VM's on another interface, my Desktop on a third interface, and the internet on a fourth interface. The WAP is running dd-wrt.

I will look into the vxlan possibility. Which means I will be upgrading to OpenBSD 6.0, and that may take me a few days. Thanks you for the information. I'll update the thread with my results.
