See my blog,

Dnsmasq doesn’t return results for machines until after its served out an 
address. So we need to make a DHCP/DNS request. The best method is using 
virtual machines like kvm etc, with a Live CD. FYI, here is how I start 
my kvm virtual machines using Grml Live CD:

qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 2 -m 1024 -usbdevice tablet -net 
nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:0:00:01,model=virtio -net 
tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no -k en-us -vga std -drive 
media=disk,if=virtio,cache=writeback,file=hda -drive 
media=cdrom,file=grml64-medium_2010.12.iso -boot d
