I read this document, and it seems to be doing basically what you get |
| 12 |
with libvirt, except libvirt does all that for you (but uses brctl |
| 13 |
instead of vde (I'm not sure what the differences are)). |

Anyway it seems like libvirt may be another alternative for you. It |
| 16 |
takes care of the bridging/dnsmasq/masquerading stuff for you and also |
| 17 |
has some nice management features (and a gui). |
