[libvirt-users] Libvirt daemon usage question

I could use some help with clarification on the use of the libvirtd daemon with regards to managing remote KVM instances. Right now I have a CentOS 6 KVM server (libvirt-0.8.1), but would like to use some management applications that require higher version (0.8.8). First, is it possible to run the libvirtd daemon from within a VM, or does it require active kvm kernel module? Secondly, could a daemon running in say Fedora 15 (0.8.8) be used to communicate with my CentOS 6 daemon (0.8.1). Does this sort of model present a problem if the KVM host is not using the same or close to the same version as the remote libvirtd? My understanding of how to use libvirtd remotely is a bit weak, so any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Trey
