Yes I do move my DomU with a fixed MAC address.
I want to make the package dropping period in the switch between the two 
physical hosts as small as possible.
Hence I would like to flush the forwarding cache in the switch for this 
particular MAC address.
If the DomU sens a package emidiately after its transfered then the switch 
will be updated and packages send to it wont be send to its old location.
As you don't want to disturb the DomU for the transfer then the package could 
be send from dom0 with the domU MAC address as source.
