work where the Dom0 didn't have an interface in it.

DomU will see that it has a local interface on 10.0.0.0 and will route
via that rather than via the default route on 192.x.x.0.

I actually got that working, but I only use the xen-script for the bridge
that my dom0 is using.
The other bridges I am doing 'manually' in a script using 'brctl'.

If you really want to know how to set that up, let me know and I will post
my configs to the list tonight.
