Thanks, Jerry, what you're proposing is exactly what I'm trying to do, but i simply can't figure out, howt to modify the config-files or scripts, respectively. I read the users-manual as well as several networking-howtos and the wiki over and over again, but I seem to miss the very information I'm in need of. Any further hints? Regarding the network redesign: What I'm going to try next is *not* to hide the pci-interfaces from the dom0 but to create multiple bridges (e.g. brInet, brLan and brDmz) and to pass those into the domU which can then "route" between them.
Bests
Matthew p.S.: I don't know if this is of any interest: To me is seems almost impossible to figure out *how* to configure more than one interface/bridge or whatever concerning the network. One only gets the information that one would have to adapt the network and the vif-scripts accordingly, but I can't see how this has to be done. I'd gladly add that part, but I'm far too unsure of what I'm doing to dare. Maybe when I'm through this.

Hide the 2 PCI-interfaces from dom0 (no problem), use them in a domU (no

bridge which connects all domUs.

"Hide", by definition, does not allow the  "virtual" - the dom0 can't
make virtual what it can't see....
When I don't set up any bridge-stuff (network-script network-bridge) and
(vif-script vif-bridge) I receive a domU which acts as router between
Internet and LAN (dom0 is invisible in that configuration, and itself
can't reach the Internet)

Naturally.
Can anyone give me a hint, how I have to adapt the scripts as to receive
that router?

First you should redesign the network configuration, maybe including a
"dummy" virt-interface (dom0/domU's only), or maybe one nic hidden,
one bridge, but using iptables within the router-domU for net smarts,
or a like variation... jerry
