Only the bridge that xend brings up automatically is getting that mac in
my setup. The other two bridges I have use the mac address of the
ethernet they are a slave to. I am using FC4 domO.

I would think the bridge should always grab the mac address of the
ethernet is is a slave too, the dom0 than gets treated just like any
other managed bridge device, clean and simple. 

I suspect their may be a good reason for this, just beyond my scope of
knowledge.
