Re: [Xen-users] Firewalling Xen?

[Andris <andris@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I set up my servers this way and prefer it as most flexible solution for me.

Dom0 (no firewall, firewalled externaly by ISP's firewall) - independent 
host machine, no special setup for easy replacement if fails
DomU1 (Dedicated shorewall firewall machine doing nat, load balancing, 
proxying etc.  for another DomU's in virtual LAN)
DomU'sX (all inside LAN, behind DomU1 firewall)
DomU'sY (proxyarped in DMZ zone, looks like standalone machines from 
internet)
So everything is bridged (NET,LAN,DMZ bridges)

Very flexsible, I can replace any component and my DomU's are not binded 
to Dom0. I can move DomUs easily whithin my Dom0us.
