No, there isn't. If you need to customize the dhcp configuration for a
libvirt network beyond the items that are described in


  https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html

you will need to disable the dnsmasq started for the network by libvirt
and setup your own dnsmasq in the host's own system config (outside of
libvirt).

You can disable libvirt's dnsmasq for a libvirt network by removing the
<dhcp> element from its config and adding "<dns enable='no'/>" (using
"virsh net-edit" followed by "virsh net-destroy" and "virsh net-start"),
