Re: [libvirt] Proposal: no dnsmasq (no dhcp and no dns) and no radvd option
Quoting Gene Czarcinski (gene(a)czarc.net):
Laine mentioned something yesterday that got me to thinking: being
able to specify that dnsmasq is not to be started for an interface.
Let me expand that by saying that libvirt would not start dnsmasq
for either dns or dhcp and also would not start radvd. However, the
IPv4 and IPv6 gateway addresses would be defined on the virtual
network interface and the "usual" iptables and ip6tables rules would
be in force.
This would allow a user to configure dnsmasq to meet any user
desires or use something completely different instead of dnsmasq.
Questions: Useful? Worth the time and effort? And then there is
Useful, yes, it's been requested by Scott Moser before
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2012-September/msg00095.html)
how should this be specified in the network xml file? ... some new
parameter? ... A subperameter of <dns> such as <dns disable='yes'
/> ? ... a subparameter of <bridge> such as <bridge name="virbr0"
dns="disable" /> ?
Comments? Suggestions?
No opinions from me, both seem doable. Don't know if anyone will
eventually want further dns(masq) customization.
