2. The way I was always anticipating remote use of libvirt to work.
The
app uses libvirt locally which opens a connection to the remote machine
using whatever remote management protocol is relevant for the hypervisor
in question. eg, HTTP/XML-RPC for Xen, or the TLS secured binary format
for the prototype QEMU backend.

So this works to manage a remote host that might not have libvirt
installed...
3. The way I think you re suggesting - a libvirt server on every
remote
host which calls into the regular libvirt internal driver model to
proxy remote calls. So even if the hypervisor in question provides a
remote network management API, we will always use the local API and
do *all* remote networking via the libvirt server
http://people.redhat.com/berrange/libvirt/libvirt-arch-remote-2.png
...and this requires each managed host to have libvirt(d).
This is considered a reasonable requirement?
