[Xen-users] Question regarding xen, physicals NIC's and VLANs

[Daniel McNamara <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I have been given an interesting project by my work place that requires 
us to do some virualistation with  a few funky caveats and I'm trying to 
find out if xen can fit into the requirments.
Essentially we'll have one machine with 5 physicals NIC's. The first 
will be used as the managment link for the host OS.
The other 4 we want to bind to seperate copies of  guest OS running on 
the machine. Here's where it gets interesting. Each of the guest OS's 
will have the same IP, however each one will plug into a switch port 
allocated to different VLANs.
What I'm trying to find out is if this is possible with xen. Basically I 
want to lock off each of the 4 physical nics to each guest OS and ensure 
that they only talk to their appropiate vlan
What I'm not sure of is how the host OS handles the network connections 
with xen and wether it will be able to handle this setup.
I have not played a lot with xen but so far it's fitting a majority of 
our requirements.
I will be using fedora core 4 for both the host and guest OS's at this 
point.
Any help with this question would be appreciated.

Cheers
