Public bug reported:
When defining a network in libvirt that does not have a dhcp section,
dnsmasq is still started for the that network. This prevents you from
starting your own version, or binding other software to that interface
that does the same thing.
For example.
<network>
<name>net1</name>
<forward dev='eth0' mode='route'/>
<bridge name='virbr1' stp='off' forwardDelay='0' />
<ip address='10.0.0.1' netmask='255.0.0.0'>
</ip>
</network>
When you run 'virsh net-create net1.xml' you get:
nobody 1343 1 0 09:59 ? 00:00:00 dnsmasq --strict-order
--bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/net1.pid --conf-
file= --listen-address 10.0.0.1 --except-interface lo
(NB. This doesn't happen on a CentOS 5.4 server running the standard
libvirtd v0.6.3).
