Thanks Felix for the reply, this is the first one that
I actually got on this list.
I have completed the setup using NAT. The only problem that I had
faced, was DomU firewall.
Quite common problem^^ it's always better to do first tests with a
domU without any firewall.
The answers are inline... hope it may others...

Hello Guys,
Hasn't anyone done any routed network on Xen?? Please
reply.
I always use routed setups, but mostly with custom vif
scripts for iptables setup.
I did do some customisation, as mentioned in one of the many
blogs that I had referred. The changes were made in
"/etc/xen/scripts/vif-common.sh", where I changed the ip_of
function as described below:
------------------------------
function ip_of()
{
#Â ip addr show "$1" | awk "/^.*inet.*$1\$/{print \$2}" | sed
-n '1 s,/.*,,p'
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ ip -4 -o addr show primary dev $1 | awk '$3 ==
"inet" {print $4; exit}' | sed 's#/.*##'
}
------------------------------
I think, hacks in this file shouldn't be necessary for newer Xen
versions, but may be fine with this old one...

Hello List,
I am trying to configure a setup where the IPs
have to bound to the dom0, and then via internal
network, these can be used on the domUs. This is a
requirement, as the IPs can be configured only on
the Dom0 due to their static configuration.
If you say internal network, does this include internal ip
addresses? If so, you would not only need routing, but also
NAT, esp. if the Dom0 will get all ip addresses assigned.
Yes, I had to do NAT, as Dom0 got all the IP addresses,
and DomUs have internal IPs like 192.168.1.2,3,4...
I faced one silly problem here, as the Nat was fine, but DomU
firewall was blocking the incoming requests. I had overlooked
this fact, which led to 4 days of futile research, as I myself
figured it out.
Anyone doing such setup, please keep DomU firewall in mind.
Â
I have configured the routed config, and
installed the VMs using virt-install. The problem
is that the VMs aren't accessible via static IP.
The OS is CentOS 5.7, and Xen is 3.0, the one
that comes with the repositories.
Additional information is needed here:
* What are the ip addresses and routes on the Dom0 and the
DomU when both are running? (Use `ip addr show` and `ip
route show` to list them -- iproute2 utilities needed, but
should already be installed)
* Is there any network filtering or NAT involved?
I've cleared these questions, in above answer.
The link states that I have to configure the
IPs in Dom0, and they will get automatically
allocated to the VMs, which is not
happening.
I also tried to configure the IP in vm config
file by adding vif = [ 'ip=<IP>' ]
Usually this would be required, but highly depends on your
actual setup and/or vif script.
I have skipped this part, as I am not assigning these IPs to
DomU. Does this method work??
If it works, you do not seem to need it. However, the default
scripts sometimes require this (don't know about the requirements of
each Xen version).
Thanks and Regards,
Rakesh Chawda
One question / suggestion:
Why do you want to use NAT for every traffic on all ip addresses?
esp. if you got multiple, I don't see the point in wasting
CPU/Memory resources for NAT (besides some other ugly side effects
that may happen with NAT). Â This is why I had asked for suggestions. This is my first setup, hence, I was following different blogs. Please suggest better options.
Also, I have hit a new issue. Inspite of the NAT setup, the outgoing IP of all the DomUs can be seen as the main Dom0 IP, and not the individual IPs assigned to the domUs.
