Ahm, yes, I think this happens already with RH/CentOS 5.1, not with Xen 3.2. I 
mixed that up. See http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2516 for a patch. This 
will help you with new VMs.

libvirtd/dnsmasq get installed with 5.1. That combination provides DHCP and 
virtual networking for this subnet over a bridge called virbr0. You can just 
disable libvirtd (which also disables dnsmasq) if you want to use static ip 
addresses.
Then simply change the vif lines in your existing VM config files to use the 
"xenbr0" bridge instead of "virbr0". Configure the static IP *in* your VM like 
normal.
