Yes, I posted a patch called network-private to the xen-users list a
week ago or so
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-09/msg00925.html
Note there is one line in the attachment that got wrapped... near the top
"mac=${mac:-$(awk 'BEGIN { printf "00:16:3e:%02x:%02x:%02x",
int(rand()*127),
int(rand()*255), int(rand()*255); }')}"
needs to be one line.
I am convinced that most of the more complicated xen networking issues
can be resolved using network-private. It creates a private network,
and vif0 in dom0 is connected to it.
In your example, you use xen-private to create a private network between
the dom0 and domUs. Then you can set dom0 up as a router same as any
other router forgetting about xen completly... use shorewall or do
something like
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d ipaddr -p tcp --dport whatever
-j DNAT --to localaddr
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s localnetwork/24 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
and other rules in the FORWARD chain based on how you want to configure
security...
Also, since you set these rules independent of XEN, and the
configuration of the network is the SAME if xen is running or not
running, these rules in iptables are not affected so will just timeout
(or return "No route to host") if xen is not running. Starting and
stopping doesn't change the network architecture.
