I have another server that is setup something similar to your setup. I hand crafted an init file to configure a few iptables rules to protect Dom0 - it's pointless trying to run a full firewall as a) I'm not sure anyone really understands networking fully under Xen, and b) the network keeps changing when guests start or stop.

The one thing that I'd like to say is that if all your DomUs have static IPs you can firewall them just like a firewall protecting any other NATed private network. If they're dynamic you're got some issues.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Windows."
Now they have two problems.
