Re: [Xen-devel] A few questions



Ian's answered the rest, so I won't duplicate what he's said.  I wanted to 
expand on this, however:

From a configuration point of view, it's as if dom0 had a dedicated NIC for 
each guest NIC, connected by crossover cable.  Configuring guest networks is 
then just like setting up a Linux machine with multiple NICs.  Bridging, 
routing, firewalling, etc should all work fine.

Lots of people have talked about it but AFAIK there's nobody working on it 
right now.

Cheers,
Mark
