Thanks Jorge for this idea....

But, what I really could use is a "persistent" solution. I had already
found the above documentation, but with each reboot I need to run it
again (And, I know I could add it to rc.local, if that still exists, but
I want a "supported" method). And "--permanent" doesn't seem to work yet
for "--add-interface" but did cover my one service I needed to add to
the internal zone.

Normally, there is a "ZONE=" that can be added to the ifcfg- files, but
virbr0 doesn't have one of those, or, at least not where I have been
able to find it....

This is why I think there is some enhancement to libvirtd with regard to
firewalld that perhaps needs to be created, or I'm overlooking
something?
