My system has two gigabit nic's. One of them(eth0) is configured to access the network on dom0.
I want to exclusively use eth1 for the use of my DomU virtual machine.

I've done this at home for my gateway - I run a router in a DomU and it has exclusive use of the ethernet card with the external connection. Lookup pciback.hide, this is my boot entry (the pciback statement is part of the module line) :

title           Xen 3.0.3-1-amd64 / Debian 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 - Ext Eth hidden
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /xen-3.0.3-1-amd64.gz
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty0 pciback.hide=(01:07.0)
module          /initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64
