That's what I thought. Was just hoping for something a little more ellegant. 
Having to grab a list of stopped "names" and then running "id's" and convert to "uuid" just to grab a list of all the domains seems a little painful to me.

Was hoping to for something like this: 

    @conn.list_domains_uuid

and have it grab all uuid's for domains running or not. 

Thanks
