The network-bridge script currently expects to be started just once; 
on the second call you won't have a veth0 any more and thus the script 
will not do anything to your $netdev.

veth0 and vif0.0 are currently hardcoded; I did remove all occurences
of eth0 and peth0 though (and replace it by ${netdev} and p${netdev}).

Is it possible to create more than one veth0 in dom0?

Do you want ot have a look into combining your work into mine?
