I agree. The "oVirt Node" part will not be a VM since as you said, it =
would be a VM within a VM - my mistake in expressing what i'm preparing.
Regarding the "single machine" (Engine and Node) "live iso" that you
=
mention. Where can I find it=85?

If I understand you correctly you want to make VMs for both engine and =
node so
that you'll only need those images to setup a virtualisation =
infrastructure?
If so that is only partly going to work. The engine VM will work but
=
the node not since that would imply nested virtualisation. That can work =
but not for every combination and probably not for the above mentioned =
products.
Node needs to run on the bare metal since it provides the same =
functions as VirtualBox/Parallels/VMWare, its Fedora18 as its operating =
system + kvm as its virtualiser.

Concerning you dns problems, to make it short, you'll need to come up =
with a
naming scheme and implement that either using a full dns server =
or through /etc/hosts.
You might also have a look at the all-in-one plugin which turns a =
single machine into both engine and node or if you want to play around =
have a look at the live iso.
