Hm, I also just managed to set up a routed xenU network, 
after hitting probably almost any possible pitfall, but 
proxy_arp being set wrong was not amongst them (also 
Debian Sarge). It's set for the vif's here, but not for 
eth0.

Also, the routing setup seems to be documented nowhere 
(couldn't find it, at least), except that the network 
scripts are being referenced in xend-config.sxp.

(And the NetBSD howto confused me by assigning an 
ip address to the bridge parameter for the vif in 
their example.)

Alex.
