Thanks for your reply ... I will check tomorrow when I am back at my
office (the IPSEC-VPN is locked to my static IP etc etc).

You use an URI like

qemu+ssh://server

?

I read about transports:

http://libvirt.org/remote.html#Remote_transports

and libvirtd is definitely running at the remote host.

I somehow suspect that systemd does *something* to the used sockets
... dunno.
