I've been eager for this "issue" to be "addressed" (quotation marks
are used in good fun) for quite a while.  I need a domU that acts as
a router between multiple internal domUs (via vifs) and multiple
external LANs (via peths).  I've seen this question pop up on the
mailing list every 4 months or so, and I always hope to see a
new answer!

Most physical routers on the planet are just fine with three nic's or
less. What is the specific application?
Is it too complex to place "dummy" vif's between 2+ router domu's and
implement the network logic with ipforwarding and iptables?
