Also LXC domains can use the nwfilter subsystem and make use of the IP
address detection in the same way as Qemu does and with that also an LXC
domain's XML should display the IP_LEASE information now. I haven't used
LXC myself, though. I guess for your purposes someone would have to
extend the perl wrappers to provide access to that information.
Let me know when you tested it. I have pretty high confidence in the
correctness of the code now :-)
