How is networking configured for the guest? I usually use

  <interface type='network'>
    <source network='default'/>
    <model type='virtio'/>
  </interface>

and that works great.

Is the IP address for the guest assigned by dnsmasq? I don't think
the libvirt_guest module can work otherwise.

What are the contents of the files in /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/,
specifically *.macs and *.status? Those are the ones that are used
to map the guest name to its IP address.
