Hi,
b. The admin of the Dom0 only opens specific ports for short periods of time. In this
case the admin will have to lookup what port corresponds to a VM, so it doesn't matter
whether we're using fixed or dynamic ports, the admin still has same amount of work
to lookup a port.
Sorry for jumping in here, but the "lookup port" thingy rings a bell ;)
A IMHO useful feature would be mdns announcements via avahi for vnc
screens and text consoles (assuming they are not bound to 127.0.0.1, so
they are actually reachable from other machines).
I've hacked up a mdns announce utility. Works using xenstore watches.
Has the drawback of announcing everything (because xenstore doesn't tell
you whenever it is bound to localhost or not) and is obviously limited
to xen. libvirt should be able to do that in a better way. Or maybe
qemu should do that directly?
cheers,
Gerd
