If you define a libvirt virtual network with one or more IP addresses, it starts up an instance of dnsmasq. It's always been possible to avoid dnsmasq's dhcp server (simply don't include a <dhcp> element), but until now it wasn't possible to avoid having the DNS server listening; even if the network has no <dns> element, it is started using default settings. This patch adds a new attribute to <dns>: enable='yes|no'. For backward compatibility, it defaults to 'yes', but if you don't want a DNS server created for the network, you can simply add: <dns enable='no'/> to the network configuration, and next time the network is started there will be no dns server created (if there is dhcp configuration, dnsmasq will be started with "port=0" which disables the DNS server; if there is no dhcp configuration, dnsmasq won't be started at all).
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
