I wasn't aware vip was a valid parameter?

You do need to provide a MAC address that the virtual interface
on domU can use, and the associated bridge interface on dom0).
e.g.:

vif= [ 'mac=aa:00:00:00:00:11, bridge=xen-br0' ]

The easiest way to configure the IP address of the domU
interface is by editing the normal interface configuration file
(such as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, if the
device name you want to use is eth0).

Make sure you have mounted and are editing the domU
filesystem :).

You can, of course, always manually bring up the
interface once the domain is created.
