You can do this with the built in dhcp server for the virtual network.
The definition is passed to dnsmasq.
...
<ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
<dhcp>
<range start="192.168.122.100" end="192.168.122.254" />
<host mac="00:16:3e:e2:ed" name="foo.example.com"
ip="192.168.122.10" />
</dhcp>
</ip>
...

Hi guys,
What I would like to do:
1) Right know it seems like dnsmasq assigns ip-addresses randomly to
VMs, is there any way to assign them in ascending order?
2) IPs are not statically assigned. Is it possible to add something like
this automatically at the first VM-start to the xml definition?:
<host mac='AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF' ip='192.168.122.2'
name='foobar'/>
