You'll want to wait for danpb or DV to comment, but I'm thinking this
might be rejected, and that instead, we should consider addressing the
issue of what dnsmasq parameters you want to affect, and how we can
encode that into the libvirt XML without having to rely on an external
dnsmasq conf file.
I want to create isolated environment for guests - they will be
connected to one bridge and will use private DNS data. No single
packet from this isolated network can reach external network - this
means no 53/udp traffic to resolvers defined in host's
/etc/resolv.conf.
I'm using following dnsmasq parameters to achive this: no-hosts,
no-resolv, addn-hosts, server.
It will be nice if one could set log-queries and local-ttl also.
With my patch I'm creating config file for this network and dnsmasq
runs with --conf-file=/path/to/my/network_name-dnsmasq.conf option.
This difference *is* visible on processes list.
