** Description changed:
First, apologies for the complicated configuration.
I use the 'uvt' front-end to libvirt-managed kvm guest machines. I also
have a LAN with a router that does local dynamic DNS configuration with
the client-provided dhcp hostnames.
I would like to resolve hostnames on my machine for both VM guests and
LAN hosts. This configuration worked for 12.04 LTS, 12.10, but does not
work for Raring. I have followed the directions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/TestingEnvironment#Networking_with_libvirt
:

My /etc/resolv.conf when the wireless is up:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 192.168.122.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1
Here's trying to look up a host on my network:

I'm surprised that 192.168.122.1 knows the reverse information for dean.
I want the query for plain "dean" to succeed. (As that's how 'ssh'
works..)
If I swap the order of the lines in /etc/resolv.conf to put 192.168.1.1 first,
I get the opposite situation:
$ host dean
dean has address 192.168.1.236
$ uvt start sec-precise-amd64
Sleeping 5 seconds to give 'sec-precise-amd64' a chance to start
$ ssh sec-precise-amd64 "echo hello"
ssh: Could not resolve hostname sec-precise-amd64: No such file or directory
$ ssh sec-precise-amd64. "echo hello"
ssh: Could not resolve hostname sec-precise-amd64.: No such file or directory
$ ssh sec-precise-amd64.local "echo hello"
hello
-
I do not want to use the .local form for all my VMs. That is annoying and the
scripts we have written around uvt assume that the .local is not necessary.
12.04 LTS and 12.10 had this working well. I would like Raring to work that
well again.
Thanks
