Well, I never thought about it very much, but one thing that came to mind is moving the DHCP part towards the KVM hypervisor. Libvirt supports networks for example: http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html It also allows for DHCP reservations. Under water libvirt will simply spawn dnsmasq to perform the DHCP. This combines nicely with the network filtering being performed by libvirt: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1164 So in short: - Use libvirt for the DHCP on the hypervisor - Also use libvirt for the security grouping Wido > Lucian > > > > -- > Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! > > Nux! > www.nux.ro
