Look up in the various howto's, and the archives for the list how to 
set up two bridges with two ethernet cards in Dom0. Then you'll find 
somewhere in the docs how to do it with a 'dummy' ethernet card in 
Dom0 - though personally I never got this to work. I've never got a 
bridge to work where the Dom0 didn't have an interface in it.
Once you've got that working, the routing should be automatic - each 
DomU will see that it has a local interface on 10.0.0.0 and will 
route via that rather than via the default route on 192.x.x.0.
