I seem to have hit an oddity in how dnsmasq operates for libvirt. I have two host machines each with several guests. One of those is also the local samba server. Guests on the non-samba server can resolve the samba server's host name correctly, so far without fail.
Guests on the samba server sometimes get the correct IP address for the samba server, and other times get an IP address for the samba server of 127.0.1.1. That is the IP address provided in the host's /etc/hosts. I have a workaround of hard coding the IP address in the fstab entry, but that's tacky. Is there a better way to handle this? -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
