Currently oVirt can use any dhcp app  to provide dhcp there is no 
management function. The appliance version uses dnsmasq based on install 
time basic configuration as will the first cut of the bare metal 
installer. We can use any dns server the only requirement for 
installation is forward/reverse lookup for the FreeIPA portion. We 
already provide some cobbler integration for the profiles, what would it 
take to integrate dns/dhcp into the ovirt console?
