I used "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE" for 
masquerading.

Yes that right, i forgot to mention that.

I have one official address on dom0 eth0 and a privat class B network 
for the domU's.
The address used on the bridge is from this private network and the 
gateway for the domU's

Checksum offload is turned off in all domU's.

The problem only appears if the pakets are masqueraded. Pinging the 
gateway-address (the one on the bridge-if) or the dom0-eth0-address 
causes no memory consumption
