[pve-devel] API to get mac and vm id

I'm reading libvirt code, they seem to use dnsmasq on each bridge

libvirt test sample
"
@DNSMASQ@ --strict-order --bind-interfaces --conf-file= \
--except-interface lo --txt-record=example,example value \
--listen-address 192.168.122.1 --listen-address 192.168.123.1 \
--listen-address 2001:db8:ac10:fe01::1 \
--listen-address 2001:db8:ac10:fd01::1 --listen-address 10.24.10.1 \
--dhcp-range 192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254 \
--dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.leases \
--dhcp-lease-max=253 --dhcp-no-override \
--dhcp-hostsfile=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.hostsfile\
"

I don't know if dnsmasq can register dynamic records in a dns server

Hi, 

i don't care about assigning IPs to vms BUT: 
- IP should be removed from assigned pool when VM is deleted 
- I want to assign hostnames to automatically to VMs based on VM id 
- i want to automatically create DNS entries into our DNS system based 
on hostname and IPs 

So i'm not sure whether this helps the community or not.
