So you aren't using Jumbo frames though? (I've never tested with Jumbo
frames)

But Large Send was enabled in the DomU which was affecting
DomU->external traffic, but not DomU->DomX traffic right?

I'd still like to find what the root cause is (netback bug? GPLPV bug?
Physical Ethernet device driver bug?) but I'm glad it's working for you
now.
