Thanks for the info.

I was able to get the the domU up and it received a dhcp address for
eth0.  I could ping dom0 fine but not any other address. 

I did a packet trace on dom0 and could see the arps going out from domU
and the responses coming back but domU couldn't see them.   If I just
left the ping going, sometimes after a minute or two, the ping would
start working in domU.  If I stopped the ping and let the domU sit idle
for a while, starting the pings up again would fail.

Another way I could get the pings working was to unplug the cable from
one of the enslaved interfaces.  Starting the ping in domU would then
work.  I could then plug the cable back in and the ping would continued.


It seems like I'm almost there, but I'm still missing something.
