Hello Pasi,
Yes i also found out that creating a bridge from debian networking scripts is
more reliable for me.
So i now have a bridge with all xen guests (xen_bridge), which is routed with
iptables with my eth0 and eth1, together with some portforwarding for specific
services.
Is there allready a wiki for networking related "best" practices stuff ?
