I'll chip in with a question of my own. What does specifying an IP in 
the DomU config actually do, and how would it actually be referenced 
in the guest OS ?
So far, I've just treated each guest (all Debian) the same as I'd 
treat a standalone machine - ie I've just configured the virtual 
interfaces as I would configure real interfaces. If the networking in 
Dom0 is a bridge, then it shouldn't care what IPs the guests use - 
not even what subnet.
So unless I'm missing something, each guest should be able to pretty 
well do what it wants regarding IP addresses.
