Using an external dhcp in cloudstack

Hi All

As the router vm runs the dnsmasq service to provide the services for dns
and dhcp.
My question is ,can i use a dhcp relay with dnsmasq so i could use external
dhcp server for dhcp service.

Not for now. CloudStack needs to know the IP address of the vm (in order
to provide other services such as firewall, etc). Programming specific
mac/ip pairs into dnsmasq is the only current way of doing so.

You could always file an enhancement request
