Hi Frank,

Please don't move the discussion off the mailing list.  Thanks.

Massimiliano De Ruosi gave a setup for this, on which I commented.
The point is that you shouldn't assign the IP to the bond, but rather
to the bridge, if the dom0 and the domUs are on the same VLAN.  This
is (in my opinion) best achieved by taking the bridge configuration
out of the hands of Xen by using the network-dummy script, and setting
up the bridges by the usual configuration facilities of your OS.

On the other hand, it may not be the best setup security-wise.  Most
people prefer to tightly control access to their dom0s, and try to
insulate them from the domU traffic they forward.

If I understand you correctly, this is exactly that some of us do.
