On the chance that it helps. I observed the following behavior:
in virsh
net-edit default ... add and entry (call this version 1) net-destroy default net-start default
/var/lib/libvirt/network/default.xml is changed but /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.hostfile is NOT
net-edit default ... edit the MAC address on an unrelated (junk) entry (call this version 2) net-destroy default net-start default
Now /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.hostfile is changed , but it reflects the file called version 1 above.
Seems to lag one version behind.
