It always has to be started so that guests get the DNS service from it.
It should have the DHCP service disabled though if you don't give any
DHCP lines in the XML.

Hello Daniel,
thank you for your reply, although it gave me couple minutes to figure
it out; that dnsmasq serves also as an DNS forwarder. Well, I haven't
thought about this one, because we have everything external. Providing
such option would be great; dnsmasq optionality; yet I'm pretty sure it
would complicate (or even break) a lot of other things.
Ok, at least one mystery got explained. :o)
Thanks,
Zdenek
