On second thought I realize that there is a small problem. If dnsmasq server is installed on a system as in case #1 then dnsmasq server will forward to dnsmasq-libvirt, thus creating a loop. In order to prevent this from happening, dnsmasq-server's resolvconf hook script has to be modified to exclude the record "lo.dnsmasq-libvirt" (just as it already excludes its own record "lo.dnsmasq"). Once libvirt is enhanced as we are proposing here (bug #1163147), I will see to it that the necessary change is made to dnsmasq: I think that the change should be made via an enhancement to resolvconf that I already had in mind but I won't go into detail here about that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163147 Title: Please run dnsmasq in such a way that it can also be used on the host — to look up the VMs' names To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1163147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
