Zeller,

I have 4 domUs acting as a firewall in a bridge fashion, but my hardware has 2 physical ethernets.

In dom0, my public eth0 IP is 200.1.2.2/28, 200.1.2.1 is the gateway of public network. My private eth1 IP is 192.168.1.1/24.

Create the file /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge-wrapper with:

#!/bin/sh
/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge $1 netdev=eth0
/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge $1 netdev=eth1

In /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp change the line:
(network-script network-bridge)

to:
(network-script network-bridge-wrapper) # ...and restart xendomains / xend.

In your domU firewall configuration file, "vif" must be like this:

grep vif /etc/xen/firewall01.cfg:
vif = [ 'mac=00:01:64:ac:8f:2c, bridge=eth0', 'mac=00:01:64:9b:b5:1b, bridge=eth1' ]

So you will have two ethernets in your domU firewall, each of it connected to it's relative public/private bridge.

In your domU eth0, configure the public IP 200.1.2.3/28 with gateway 200.1.2.1 (the same gateway of dom0) and in your domU eth1, configure the IP 192.168.1.254/25, this will be the gateway for all your domUs. Living on the same hypervisor or not (it's a bridge remember). Ah! You do not need an interface for each domU...

I hope help you in your scenario.

Regards,
Thiago

We would like to implement following scenario .. please look at the png attachment

Main Question:
how do i set up a domU firewall/router with one interface bridged to the internet and interfaces connected to other domUs? do we even need an interface for each connected domU?

thanks in advance
merry xmas
