There is no provision for that. If you want additional hosts to be known by the libvcirt instance of dnsmasq, you must enter them into the xml.
I can set the addn-hosts in the .conf file in /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/<nameofthenetwork>.conf. I was just not sure if this gets overwritten, each time I change a setting in the network's xml (virsh net-edit ...).
If we allowed pointing to an existing addn-hosts file written by the user, we would be adding the format of dnsmasq's addn-hosts file to libvirt's official API, which we don't want to do - we want to keep libvirt's API as implementation-agnostic as possible (in case someone implements a libvirt network driver that uses something other than dnsmasq for DNS, for example).
