I'd rather route only the (blocks of) IPs that I want the VM to have
to the VM, not let them set any they like. That way I know what they
have (because I routed it to them) and I know they can only use what
they were given.

If I had to use DHCP though, I'd be using the DHCP logs for the
MAC/IP mapping.

Sniffing traffic would be my last resort.

I don't *think* that Xen has any way to know what interfaces are
configured on the domU end of a vif.

Cheers,
Andy
