OK, so this is vaguely embarrassing. Having checked the actual code,
rather than the changelog, I see that dnsmasq >=2.61 _already_ does the
right thing. Setting --bind-interfaces* and a single --listen-address
will cause the code to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s).

So, there is not a problem with the existing libvirt command line.

Gene, apologies for sending you on a wild-goose chase with this.

* or bind-dyanmic on 2.63 and later.

Cheers,

Simon.
