[Bug 231060] Re: packages dnsmasq and libvirt-bin conflict with each other

[Thomas Hood]

>From the IRC discussion:

23:01 < RAOF> stgraber: I don't suppose there's a way to get the best of both worlds? Have dnsmasq ignore the interfaces you need, *and* pick up new interfaces?
23:01 < RAOF> For example: how disruptive is restarting dnsmasq?

Please note that Simon Kelley is working on enhancing dnsmasq so that it
will automatically detect new interfaces and addresses (on LInux,
anyway).  That's much better than restarting dnsmasq.  Once that
enhancement is available, forcing dnsmasq into bind-interfaces mode will
be less disruptive.

Forcing dnsmasq into bind-interfaces mode now is disruptive, but not
terribly so; stgraber argues (persuasively, IMHO) that libvirt and lxc
should force standalone dnsmasq into bind-interfaces mode even without
the aforemention enhancement.
