This should not happenend and is especially problematic if the upstream DNS is configured to forward queries for those domains back to the libvirt started dnsmasq instance (you get a loop). The solution to this problem is to have libvirt start dnsmasq with the --local command line option. A similar bug already got reported to RH bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849787 A fix is already upstream in the master branch and I prepared 12.2 packages for testing in home:rhafer:branches:openSUSE:12.2:Update (the Factory version is already recent enough to contain the fix AFAICS). It's seems to work well so far on my system. I'd really like to see this released as maintenance update for 12.2. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
