Sorry to be unclear about that - my pointing out the usefulness for testing 
purposes, I was not saying that it's insecure or unstable for production use.  
It just seems to me that about the only time you want your virtual machines on 
an isolated network is when you're doing some sort of Test/Dev environment - 
production machines are most useful when they're connected with the rest of the 
world.  I can see some scenarios where you'd use an internal network, though, 
to connect some production machines, in addition to their external network 
devices.  Anyway, the point is that, yes, the ability to create a bridge in 
XenServer/XCP/Xen is stable, secure, and production-ready.  Just create a 
bridge without an external network device!
