Hi Everyone,

Is it normal to see this in /var/log/message once a DomU starts up?

kernel: device vifu22195 entered promiscuous mode

These DomUs are for "untrusted" customers, so I do have iptables running which *should* prevent packets destined for other DomUs from appearing on the wrong DomU interface. Nonetheless, the message is still worrying

Thanks
