Didn't you say Xen version is different?
I'm not saying that's the root cause of problem (cause I don't know
whether or not it's true by only looking at your info). My point is
that you said yourself the setup were different.

RHEL5/Centos still uses the same thing. So does Xen 3.3.1 port from
Gitco repository.
You are correct however, if you say that Xen 3.3.1 (the vanilla one
from xen.org) behavior have changed.

Something like this should work
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 :
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=xenbr0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-xenbr0 :
DEVICE=xenbr0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-xenbr0:1 :
DEVICE=xenbr0:1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.11
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
You could alyas change the bridge names if you want. I usually use
brXXX where XXX is the vlan number.

If I remember correctly Xen would use the first bridge it found by
default. Since I have lots of bridges (for different vlans), I like to
specify the bridge explicitly.

I'm not following you here. If you mean you want to create a private,
non-routeable network between dom0 and domU, you could simply create
another bridge.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-brdummy0 :
DEVICE=brdummy0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.2.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
But if you want to create another bridge with eth1 or eth2 as the
physical device (thus domU would have two or more NICs, each connected
to a different bridge), you can copy the eth0/xenbr0 config above and
modify them accordingly.

If you mean you attached dom0's eth0, eth1, and eth2 to the same
bridge when they're on different network (a.k.a different vlan) and
connected to the same switch, then that is only expected :)
