Hi. I have another question, hopefully easier than my last:

Do all physical interfaces in dom0 need to have an IP addresse in
order to be used
as a bridge by guest domains?

I thought that the interface would have to merely be "up" but not
necessarily have an
IP address configured since bridging is done at layer 2. But alas, if
I don't configure
an IP address on dom0 the bridge seems to not be usable from a guest domain.

My motivation for this is that dom0 has 4 interfaces which could be on
4 networks. I
didn't want to assign IP addresses for dom0 on ALL of these networks.

So am I missing something? Thanks.
