Thanks for the hint with net-update, thats exactly that what I was looking for.

Fortunately, in libvirt 0.10.0 and later (I think that is the version it was added) you can use the "virsh net-update" command to add net static host entries immediately without restarting the network; something like this:
virsh net-update MyGuest --live internet add \ ip-dhcp-host "<host mac='AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF' ip='192.168.122.2' name='foobar'/>"
I just happened across this message when going through the backlog and noticed that I forgot to add "--config" to the above commandline - without --config, the new entry will only survive until the network is destroyed (e.g. the host is rebooted), after which it will be lost. Assuming you've already added several hosts without using --config, you can transfer them into the permanent network config like this: virsh net-dumpxml MyGuest .... virsh net-edit MyGuest [cut-paste the <host> lines from the dumpxml output into the configuration file] Sorry for the omission (and any surprises it may have caused).
