Re: [Xen-users] XCP and Amazon EC2-style networking

That works in a single-user usecase. If an ISP wants to replicate the EC2 model and support multiple tenants, then each tenant gets their own public IP and can program their own firewall rules through the API. Most hardware firewalls don't have APIs  to program firewall rules.

Unless I'm reading something wrong here, I can't figure out why you'd
want a private IP NATted to a dedicated public IP for the DomU. If
you're going to use the DomUs as NATted workstations, just put the whole
thing behind a NAT router and you're done.
