I would expect most setups will have a central authority assigning IP addresses to domains, either via DHCP or boot-time IP p'n'p. That would seem to be a better place to get domain-to-IP binding info from rather than trusting the domU itself. Unfortunately it's also slightly outside teh current scope of the dom0 tool stack. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
