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).
I guess it's not possible to reuse the existing 'listen' attribute, by doing context-sensitive parsing to allow either ip address or a network name, because 'listen' already supports host names which get resolved into an ip address.
I haven't looked at the series in detail, so maybe that will help me think of a possibly better attribute name.
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!
