Hi Marco,

I'd also really like a way for a XenAPI client to communicate securely with an 
in-guest agent. Were you thinking of an RPC-like mechanism or something more 
stream-based?

For the dom0 to domU hop we could use "V4V" (which is already part of XCI). I'm 
not sure what the best API would look like and how it would behave over a VM 
migration-- perhaps we should make a list of example uses first and proceed 
from there?

Cheers,
Dave
