Robie, this very well might be an abuse of dnsmasq; however, the upstream author discusses a libvirt-managed dnsmasq instance as a perfectly well supported configuration in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833033#c11 .

Thomas, I don't think this is a duplicate of bug #1126488 since I made the conscious decision to _not_ upgrade to Raring until after that bug had been fixed in the main archive. :) I didn't want to deal with dnsmasq problems...

I had used the resolvconf mechanism in the past, but switched to using prepend nameservers in dhclient.conf to match the instructions on the uvt wikipage while trying to debug this. (I had used both mechanisms without problems on 12.04 LTS and 12.10.)

I do not have the dnsmasq package installed.

uvt is available in the ubuntu-qa-tools bazaar tree: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol/ubuntu-qa-tools/master/view/head:/vm-tools/uvt It may not have the polish of the usual GUI tools but it does make deploying and maintaining a dozen qemu/kvm snapshot-capable Ubuntu installs extremely easy and convenient.
