I just tried what you said below. I'm not sure if its working though. I tried 
bridging
one more time and still disconnected from the network. waiting for 1and1 to 
reconnect
me.
But i can access serial console.

So what i see is this, ifconfig says:
[root@cyclops ~]# ifconfig

82.165.27.12 is my main IP. vif1.0 seems to have been assigned the same ip.
which probably makes sense because of what ip r says:
[root@cyclops ~]# ip r
82.165.37.144 dev vif1.0  scope link  src 82.165.27.12
169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0  scope link
default via 10.255.255.1 dev eth0

37.144 is my domU ip. not sure exactly whats going on. but it probably means 
vif1.0 is
connected on 144? no idea.

and what i have in my domU config:
vif = [ 'ip=82.165.37.144' ]
ip = "82.165.37.144"
netmask="255.255.255.255"
gateway="10.255.255.1"
#gateway="82.165.27.12"

the question is here do i use my isp's gateway? (10.*) the one for dom0?
OR do i use dom0 itself? since we are routing i should use dom0?
I tried both. the ifconfig and ip r output is the same.

and lastly i used centos for domU too. so my 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is:
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=82.165.37.144
NETMASK=255.255.255.255
GATEWAY=10.255.255.1

Is everything correct here?
I will send another email detailing if it worked when my connection was 
reinstated.
