# Dom0 will balloon out when needed to free memory for domU.

(dom0-min-mem 196)

Perhaps I am just mis-understanding. I take this to mean that domU can 
steal memory from dom0 up until dom0 gets to the min-mem threshold. And 
according to the config comments setting to 0 makes dom0 not balloon. So 
I read that as domU can not ever steal memory from dom0.
