Okay, this seems to work somehow...

I've setup two interfaces on a DomU, which I can ping by ip address -- even
from outside of dom0. What I would expect is that if I shutdown one interface
on Dom0 that only one of the virtual interfaces on DomU would be
pingable. But I can still ping both addresses on DomU.

    # brctl show
    bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
    xenbr0          8000.feffffffffff       no              vif0.0
                                                            peth0
                                                            vif1.0
    xenbr1          8000.feffffffffff       no              vif1.1


I understand the interface list of xenbr0. What I would expect in this
listing is that interfaces like peth1 and vif0.1 appear in the xenbr1
interface list. But these interfaces aren't created by the 

    # /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start vifnum=1 netdev=eth1

command.
