I think the plan that danpb has in this aspect is to use virlogd to distribute the console output to almost any number of clients, which would solve this kind of problem. Additionally, doesn't oVirt use just one connection from VDSM for this purpose. In that case it's rather trivial to know which connection (to libvirt) has currently opened console stream. ;) Peter
