Yup. I took a quick and dirty route to solve a problem, and it leaked
over into another area. Sigh. The solution I took depends on the fact
that the libvirtual stuff uses dnsmasq for DNS and DHCP. And dnsmasq
reads the host machine's hosts file. Nice. But, as you pointed out, so
does the host machine's DNS lookup stuff. Sigh.

Possibly the solution to this problem is to see if I can take it out of
hosts, add it to dnsmasq directly, and finagle dnsmasq to only be
visible to the virtual machines.

But I don't think that will solve the routing problem.
