Re: [Xen-users] Network Configuration Needed - NAT plus 2 NICs

[Yura Pismerov <y.pismerov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For what it worth....
In similar setup (one NIC on public, the 2nd one on private network
along with domU's) I had better success with routed Xen networking
config (vif-route).
For some reason, neither bridged nor nat setups worked for me.
Here is what I use in xen config file (my internal network is on eth1,
so it requires explicit definition of netdev).

(network-script network-route)
(vif-script     'vif-route netdev=eth1')

Also, if you have internal network segment and you want the domU IPs
visible on it you will need:

echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/proxy_arp


Hope this helps.
