My KVMs use a virtio device bridge and don't occupy a different lease than the physical NIC on my host machine. virt-manager should be able to setup the bridge for you. On Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 12:52 PM jason schaefer <js@jasonschaefer.com> wrote:
I have also been trying to find the cleanest way to have longer-lasting leases in dhcp for virt-manager VMs, or a clean integration of guest hostnames into host dns. Anyone up for talking about that this evening?
I'm a big fan of bridging the hosts interface so that the guest kvm can access the LAN directly. I avoid NAT if possible.
As for DNS, you could hack your etc hosts file or better yet use a caching dns server on your router. I prefer openwrt for this kind of setup. Very solid and flexible (for "normal" network setups).
