here vif will be something like vif34.0 how it is viewed by the briding
code ? (as an standard ethxx interface ?)
Because i'm wondering if this rule will be matched by netfilter.

I use antispoof but i've been obligied to modified the rule this way :
iptables ${iptcmd} FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-out ${interface} -J ACCEPT
in order to allow a xenU domain to talk with another computer on my
network.
In order to allow two xenU domain on the same machine to talk i'm also
obliged to add thoses two more rules :
iptables ${iptcmd} FORWARD -i ${vif} -J ACCEPT
iptables ${iptcmd} FORWARD -o ${vif} -J ACCEPT
I'm obliged to add this because i don't specify an ip adress in xenU
configuration file so it skip the piece of code you put upper.
You may ask why i don't specify the ip in the xenU domain file.
There is in my point of viex two case:
* XenU has a dhcp adress and so if the interface get its adress from DHCP
specifing is useless ...
* XenU has a fixed adress, well for the moment i prefer to specify the
address also in the interface file (in debian) so specifing it this file +
xenU is redondant and may introduce errors when i'll change the address.
