[libvirt-users] How to disable dnsmasq from starting automatically with libvirtd

Hi.

I have a machine with a local DHCP server and a couple of virtual networks and 
I've configured the server for each virtual interface, so that I would be
able
to install VMs on the corresponding subnets using PXE.

The problem is that the two DHCP servers (my local server and dnsmasq) are 
conflicting with each other causing the boot process to either fails or takes 
ages untill a VM can catch the PXE parameters.

Note this output upon starting two VMs on two different subnets:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, is there a way to stop dnsmasq from starting automatically when starting 
libvird? I haven't been able to see any trace of it in the init scripts, and
my
guessing is that it's started not as a service, but in an ad-hoc manner by 
libvirt-bin.

Checking the dependencies of the libvirt-bin package, I've noticed that 
dnsmasq is among them. So, my question is whether, starting dnsmasq 
automatically is something that is hard coded in libvirt-bin or is it just
started
in some other way that I am not aware of?

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

	Marwan

No, to disable the autostarting of dnsmasq, you need to disable the
autostart of network which drives dnsmasq (named 'default' by default).

% virsh net-autostart --disable default

Then it won't be started automatically along with libvirtd service next
time.
