Stefan, David,<br>

Thank you very much for this functionality. As a side-effect,
it solves a problem that I needed addressed: namely, to know via
Sys-Virt, the IP address associated with a virtual machine
(without having to grovel through the DHCP lease file, out of
band).<br>

that's great to hear. Did you test them?<span><font color="#888888"><br>

However, if you would like some independent testing, I can tinker with it. I have to figure out the ins and outs of GIT first, though. I do my own stuff with SVN and have not learned git yet.<br>
<br>The latest libvirt in Gentoo is version "0.9.10-r4". Ignoring the "-r4", 9.10 is about 2 months old, correct? So I might be waiting a while for this patch to make it to my portage tree.<br><br>Is there a specific git command line that I should use to pull a specific libvirt code set, or should I just go for the head / bleeding edge?<br>

</blockquote></div>Stefan,<br><br> There is a potential bug [1] in the Gentoo package that tracks the libvirt git repository. I will wait a few days for the Gentoo folks to sort it out. If not, I will remove the Gentoo libvirt package and install the latest from git manually. I intend to test this feature and provide feedback for you. Again, thank you for this feature. I understand that your implementation is to address a network security concern.<br>
<br> I intend to expand to apache/mod_perl/Sys-Virt/libvirt management tool to concurrently monitor QEMU and LXC. It would be nice if I could get the IP address for each virtual system in a uniform way. I do not know if this is a feasible feature to request. I will already have to work around the differences between QEMU and LXC in code, so this isn't a huge deal. Just a suggestion for a possible future feature.<br>
