I don't think that's possible, as the domain ID is incremented everytime a 
VM is created, for the life of xend (or possibly the life of the 
hypervisor).  This was something that was really annoying, as there was 
no way (that we found while testing) to lock a VM to a particular domain 
ID.  That, along with the broken (not working) 
auto-set-vnc-port-to-domain-id in Xen 3.1+, made using the domain ID for 
anything quite useless.

The only time I ever saw the domain ID reset to 1 was when the server was 
rebooted.
