Description Charles Duffy 2009-06-30 17:07:31 UTC 
Description of problem:

Disabling libvirt-controlled DHCP (/network/ip/dhcp) also prevents DNS forwarding from being available to the relevant libvirt-controlled network.

This could be resolved by running dnsmasq with the --no-dhcp-

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.6.4

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a libvirt network without /network/ip/dhcp defined.
2. Start a guest in that network.
3. Attempt to resolve names through DNS through the host's IP on that network (/network/ip/@address)
  
Actual results:

DNS service should be available via the IP defined in the network XML at /network/ip/@address, just as it is with DHCP running.

Expected results:

No DNS redirection is available.

Additional info:

dnsmasq has a --no-dhcp-interface= argument which can be used to implement this functionality.

Allow dnsmasq to provide DNS without DHCP

* src/network_driver.c: Always start dnsmasq to allow it to provide
  DNS, even if no DHCP ranges are enabled
