Use DHCP, and ensure that when you create the domain configuration xml
file for the second instance that you remove the MAC address lines
before you define it in virsh so libvirt generates new MAC addresses
for the copies.
Seconded - DHCP is your friend. Aside from MAC address, when cloning
VMs you must also change name, UUID, posibly VNC port if hardcoded.
To automate this, we provide a virt-clone tool. It won't touch anything
inside the guest, but it'll take care of the disk copy and changing all
neccessary bits of the XML config.
