Sorry, should have been more clear about your RHEL instance. Unless you
explicitly review and uncheck the virtualization packages on standard
RedHat installs you get those packages.  I'm just saying......  on a fresh
install a few months ago DNS was not working on my newly provisioned Samba
install; after un-installing all libvirt and dnsmasq packages everything
was fine from that point on in regards to DNS. Samba was trying to use the
.122.1 address which being used by the dnsmasq server for any KVM vm
instances.

   Exactly..... you don't need a virbr0 interface on your RHEL VM instance
as you are already virtualized.  The address on your RHEL eth0 should be
the IP used for DNS.
