Hi Joseph,

I don't know what distro you use, but I use Debian. In my dom0 the network 
config looks like this:
# egrep -v "^(#|$)" /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
         address 192.168.221.4
         netmask 255.255.255.0
         gateway 192.168.221.2

... where eth0 is the inside interface. The outside interface eth1 isn't even 
mentioned, since it doesn't have to be configured. You can read more about it in 
a post I made a few days ago:
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.user/33926>

ethx scripts are used in Redhat and friends, right? Someone more familiar to 
Redhat is more than welcome to chime in now.
Good luck!
