@Seth: Unless you prefer to drop the matter entirely, I'd suggest you edit the bug description to say exactly what it is that you want, as you know see it. This isn't very clear in the original posting, and after re-reading many of the comments above I don't feel I have a completely clear picture of what you would like. Once you've done that, then even if we don't take any action to implement I'd say we should keep this report open at importance Wishlist.
Second, I think that with limited effort we can provide at least *part* of the desired functionality. I am happy to help with that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163147 Title: Please run dnsmasq in such a way that it can also be used on the host — to look up the VMs' names To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1163147/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
