Thank you for your answer it was very exhaustive.
I've learned a new thing, that is the poor performance in traffic
between domU in the same machine rather than domU in different
machines.
I've a domU with tomcat and many jruby applications and, in the same
machine, another domU as database server with postgres.
Based on what you say I've to reconfigure my systems to have domU in
different machines.
Perhaps I can leave domU in the same machine but assign a different NIC?
