Dear Peter,

Thanks for the excellent solution to the problem. Appreciate it.

Now I see. It sounds like this really isn't a Xen question - that its the familiar "duplicate IP address" error we get when a user manually sets an IP address that has been assigned by a DHCP server

So here's the thing. What makes this issue worth spending any time trying to fix?

Sure, with sufficient creativity, we could engineer something that fixes this
The effort is probably more than 10x the value

Why not simply assume most people are reasonable and then deal with the exceptions as they arise?

If, of course, you are a sysadmin in a Federal Prison it might be different ...
