IMHO in most scenarios it's best to treat domUs like any other machine
on your network.

For your particular type of need I'd be using dhcp, possibly with
persistent allocation. That way I can manage IPs from a centralized
location (the dhcp server) and it works for both virtual and physical
machines.
