Yes, libvirtd uses dnsmasq to service the virtual networks, for details, you can see the
following
docs:

Good Luck!

Subject: [libvirt-users] Error on running libvirt (dnsmasq)
Hi,
I am running libvirt on RHEL 6.2 and getting this below error when I start the daemon:
/usr/sbin/libvirtd --verbose
2012-04-20 06:00:13.366+0000: 26900: info : libvirt version: 0.9.11

Perhaps ip6tables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.'.
I compiled libvirt from the source, do I really need dnsmasq?
Thanks
