[ovirt-users] VM Migration Fails (Network thoughts)

[Christopher Young]

So, I'm self-replying, but I was able to confirm that changing
/etc/resolv.conf so that the short hostnames work allow migration, but
ONLY when the migration network is set to the main management
interface (and thus the primary hostname of the system).  I'm
wondering how this could work with separate IP networks for VM
Migration when hostname resolutions would generally always return the
primary IP address of a system.

I obviously still have reading to do, but any help and feedback would
be greatly appreciated.
