[Xen-users] Xen, bonding and firewall duties?

[Thomas Harold <tgh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have (5) NICs in a machine (eth0 to eth4).  I want to run a firewall 
in a DomU (not in Dom0).  We want to bond eth0/eth1/eth2 into bond0 and 
eth3/eth4 into bond1.
Bond0 - LAN
Bond1 - Internet

What is the path of least resistance?  Should we do the bonding in Dom0, 
and pass a pair of bridged VIFs to the DomU firewall?  Or should we pass 
eth3 and eth4 to the DomU firewall domain as PCI front/back-end devices?
There will be other DomUs running that will only be talking to the Bond0 
bridge and the DomU firewall will be forwarding ports to those DomUs.
