I would expect most setups will have a central authority assigning IP 
addresses to domains, either via DHCP or boot-time IP p'n'p. That would 
seem to be a better place to get domain-to-IP binding info from rather 
than trusting the domU itself. Unfortunately it's also slightly outside 
teh current scope of the dom0 tool stack.
