You can create static leases based on interfaces MACs: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-February/msg00373.html However, libvirt lacks API for changing guest's interface IP on the fly since qemu-ga lacks such feature too. Therefore when implementing this functionality - qemu-ga part needs to be done firstly so you can build on stable interface. This may be your inspiration: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-02/msg04173.html
