It works fine with my original setup and on my other machine. I think even 
without forwarding switched on. That's why I think it works via 
broadcasting.

That's what I did and mentioned in my posting your replied to. That works 
in one direction (dom0 eth1 -> domU), but not from domU eth1 -> dom0. I 
don't need that second variant, but it's somehow "disturbing" that it 
doesn't work.

Think of it like having two

I thought about that earlier, but it's not clear to me what I should set 
as a gateway then. A static route for the subnet on third machine eth1 
with gateway IP dom0 eth1?
