Thank you, Mark.

May I rephrase the question? :
Let you have a few devices D1, D2, and D3.
Currently, in our testbed, they are all supported by Dom0 that hosts drivers 
for D1, D2, and D3.
My question is how to get a working configuration with 3 IDDs: 
IDD1 - for D1, IDD2 - for D2, IDD3 - for D3.
Any pointers are highly appreciated.

Thanks, Lucy
