I need to use it in dom0 to measure bandwidth used by each domU.  I
can't measure anything inside a domU because that can be meddled

infrastructure built around the ability to do this. :(

Is it possible to edit the scripts to name the vif based on the
domain's name rather than its id number (which changes)?
