"vif2" in your xmdomain.cfg refers to netchannel2. It is mentioned on 
xen-devel several times. I tried netchannel2 support myself and i 
consider netchannel2 as unstable at the very moment. Also it is not 
documented at the moment. I don't know if someone tried to use it lately.
My experience of netchannel2-Device is, the very moment, traffic 
traverses the device, i get a kernel panic and a complete freeze for my 
complete host.  Did anyone experience netchannel2 and xen 4.0?
Sincerly
Nicolas
