If you want additional hosts to be known by the libvcirt instance of dnsmasq, you must enter them into the xml. If we allowed pointing to an existing addn-hosts file written by the user, we would be adding the format of dnsmasq's addn-hosts file to libvirt's official API, which we don't want to do - we want to keep libvirt's API as implementation-agnostic as possible (in case someone implements a libvirt network driver that uses something other than dnsmasq for DNS, for example). > In the normal dnsmasq.conf > this is done via addn-hosts=, and that appears in the conf-file for > the network called e.g. WHATEVER: > > addn-hosts=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/WHATEVER.addnhosts > _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
