Did some more testing (found how to adjust libvirts dnsmasq.conf and restart it to pick up conf changes):
To test, get the dnsmasq pid using the vagrant-libvirt.conf config and check the environment set for the process with: sudo cat /proc/2586/environ VIR_BRIDGE_NAME=virbr0 After killing the relevant dnsmasq you can manually restart using sudo VIR_BRIDGE_NAME=virbr0 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/vagrant-libvirt.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_leaseshelper Just make sure to check the environment for the dnsmasq process before Adding entries with the following format to the libvirt dnsmasq.conf: host-record=<short>,<fqdn>,<ip> interface-name=<short>,br0 And have entries with the following format in /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 <fqdn> <short> and nslookup and dig returns the configured <ip> for both short and fqdn instead of 127.0.1.1 as it used to. It appears that host-record overrides entries read from hosts-files because record options are considered to be read before host-files, and only the first entry results in the PTR creation, so a name appearing in the host-record inhibits PTR-record creation based on the entries in /etc/hosts. I also tried using: host-record=<fqdn>,<ip> host-record=<short>,<ip> Basically without the interface-name being specified and dig/nslookup would start returning two records. So it means that 'interface- name=<short>,br0' appears to be required to prevent the short version from returning both records. It would seem that the alternative would be to create a local copy of /etc/hosts pruned of all loop back address entries and provide that as the hosts file to read instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326536 Title: libvirt's dnsmasq setup will read /etc/hosts on the host, resulting in odd resolution behaviour on the VM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1326536/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
