commit 9065cfaa added the ability to disable DNS services for a
libvirt virtual network. If neither DNS nor DHCP is needed for a
network, then we don't need to start dnsmasq, so code was added to
check for this.
Unfortunately, it was written with a great lack of attention to detail
(I can say that, because I was the author), and the loop that checked
if DHCP is needed for the network would never end if the network had
multiple IP addresses and the first <ip> had no <dhcp> subelement
(which would have contained a <range> or <host> subelement, thus
requiring DHCP services).
This patch rewrites the check to be more compact and (more
importantly) finite.
This bug was present in release 2.2.0 and 2.3.0, so will need to be
backported to any relevant maintainence branches.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
