[libvirt-users] Speaking of DNSmasq ....

[William A. Mahaffey III]

.... I am getting a bit tired of those pesky DNSmasq entries in my 
syslog file, they fill it up about weekly, wash other stuff out of view 
on a tail. Is there any way to suppress them. or else increase their 
lease time so that they happen less frequently ? Having a finite lease 
time for a VM seems nonsensical, it can't go anywhere or disconnect 
(obviously) .... I tried restarting DNSmasq, but it said 'Socket busy' 
or some such & didn't restart. Someone on another list said that DNSmasq 
was/is in fact started by libvirt/KVM/QEMU, & I poked around in the 
various /etc/sysconfig files, but couldn't find anything related to 
DNSmasq, whatever options it is started with seem to be hardwired or 
compiled into one of the pertinent executables .... FC 14, 64 bit, 
terminally patched up, libvirt 0.8.3-10.fc14 64-bit, qemu-KVM 
2:0.13.0-1.fc14 64-bit .... TIA ....
