Is it possible to have non-persistence mode for domains in Xen similar to VMWare non-persistence mode (VMWare GSX) such that number of domains can be instantiated from one Xen domain-U disk image?

I am not sure about that, but I have found that modding a debian or gentoo root image to boot from readonly, and then mount the parts that need to be writable from tmpfs or nfs, works quite well.
