As for adding the nwfilter to a guest that does not already have the filter, will that guest need to be rebooted?  Or can I add it to the guest via 'virsh edit'? I ask becase, from what I can tell, adding a new filter via 'virsh edit' doesn't seem to work --

though it's good to know that once a 'filterref' has been defined in the guest, it can be adjusted on the fly.
