Currently we only start dnsmasq if DHCP ranges are configured. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508965 points out that this prevents use of DNS in guests using static IP config. Thus this patch makes us always start dnsmasq, regardless of DHCP config if we have an IP addr configured. There is no need for the --no-dhcp-interface= that BZ mentions, since that's just to allow you to restrict which interfaces dnsmasq does DHCP on - we've already restricted it to just out interface, and leaving out the DHCP ranges disables its DHCP server for every interface Regards, Daniel commit deb71927a3551b3a1554351ef098644aec978a09 Author: Daniel P.
