If you specifically want Dom0 not to be able to access any traffic, then you'll 
need to use PCI passthrough to make the device accessible to the guest. Even 
then I would imagine the PCI traffic would be visible with the right tools in 
Dom0.

Alternatively, create a bridge, add eth1 to it, and then configure DomU to have 
one virtual NIC connected to that bridge. If you don't assign an IP to the NIC 
or bridge in Dom0 then it won't be "connected" to that subnet (as in, the 
interface won't appear with an address to any tools, and the IP stack won't 
route traffic via it) - but traffic will still be visible (eg with Wireshark).

What will *NOT* happen is eth1 magically appearing as a NIC in the guest 
without you doing some configuration to may it accessible.
