Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 0/6] NSS module for libvirt

Are you tired of remembering IP addresses for your domains? Do you have enough of configuring static IPs so that you can add them to your hosts file? Then libvirt NSS module is exactly what you need! NSS does a lot in a Linux host. These patches aim at translating domain names into IP addresses. All you need to do, is install libnss_libvirt.so.2 (e.g. via 'make install' ran from source dir), enable the module in nsswitch.conf: $ grep libvirt /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files dns libvirt and you're all set. Now you can just: $ ping $mydomain $ ssh user@$mydomain or anything you'd like. The only limitation is that it has to be libvirt who has assigned the domain IP address. The limitation comes from implementation in which '/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/*.status' files are parsed when looking up a hostname.
