I am also currently struggeling with this behaviour: I would like to configure bridges with libvirt but start my own universal dnsmasq separately. iirc, earlier versions of libvirt did not launch dnsmasq (not even for serving dns), when the <dhcp> section was not present in the network xml file.
I am running libvirt Version: 0.9.2-4ubuntu15.2 on oneric (11.10). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584862 Title: libvirt launches dnsmasq for non-dhcp networks.
