Keeping this -just- on xen-devel -

Which interface are you talking about being > 1500 bytes?

Are you trunking a VLAN into a server via domU and then using
the bridging code to split these vlans up across different
vif's?

Or are you bringing in a VLAN trunk into a domU somehow and
running vlans inside the domU?

(Snip discussion about IP, fragmentation and the like. Its useful
to understand -why- there's a problem but not to understand
what you're trying to do; and thusly what needs fixing.)
