This patch series resolves the following bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=703851 In short, it implements support for a new "listenNetwork" attribute in the domain's <graphics> element. When listenNetwork is specified, libvirt will look for a network of that name (from the networks that can be created within libvirt), and derive a listen address from the physical interface used to connect that network to the outside world. (More details are given in each commit message). This patch series is meant to be applied on top of the series I sent on Tuesday: network: physical device abstraction aka 'virtual switch' https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-July/msg00149.html Don't attempt to apply it by itself! Note that I'm not particularly fond of the attribute name (it's too long and has the ugly capital letter in the middle). If anyone has a suggestion for something better, please give your opinion now, before it's pushed and becomes permanent! -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
