Re: [Xen-users] Interdomain routing problem

Think of dom0 as your network core, with all of your domU directly
connected. The original post showed a slew of 10.X.X.X ip with no subnet
masks, so these would all default to a subnet 8 bits in length or a
netmask of 255.0.0.0. That essentially put all these ip interface in one
broadcast domain, 10.255.255.255. If you have all the interface with the
same broadcast address, they should all be using the same broadcast
domain.( A hub or switch no vlans is one broadcast domain, some people
like the piece of wire reference also).

dom0 eth0, domU eth0 on same host share a broadcast domain.

Draw a diagram, make sure every common broadcast address is connected to
the same broadcast domain, you probably really want to look into using
CIDR addressing(Classless Interdomain Routing).

Something like this.
24 bit subnet length
10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0
10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0
10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0

Or to get fancy

22 bit subnet length
10.0.0.0 255.255.252.0
10.0.4.0 255.255.252.0
10.0.8.0 255.255.252.0

Regards,
Ted
