Stefan,
There is a potential bug [1] in the Gentoo package that tracks the
libvirt git repository. I will wait a few days for the Gentoo folks
to sort it out. If not, I will remove the Gentoo libvirt package and
install the latest from git manually. I intend to test this feature
and provide feedback for you. Again, thank you for this feature. I
understand that your implementation is to address a network security
concern.
I intend to expand to apache/mod_perl/Sys-Virt/libvirt management
tool to concurrently monitor QEMU and LXC. It would be nice if I
could get the IP address for each virtual system in a uniform way. I
do not know if this is a feasible feature to request. I will already
have to work around the differences between QEMU and LXC in code, so
this isn't a huge deal. Just a suggestion for a possible future feature.
Also LXC domains can use the nwfilter subsystem and make use of the IP
address detection in the same way as Qemu does and with that also an LXC
domain's XML should display the IP_LEASE information now. I haven't used
LXC myself, though. I guess for your purposes someone would have to
extend the perl wrappers to provide access to that information.
Let me know when you tested it. I have pretty high confidence in the
correctness of the code now :-)
Regards,
Stefan
