I must be missing something here... doesn't the init script itself add
eth0 to xen-br0??? Does dom0 somehow internally create vif0.0 as a
mirror of eth0?

You said 'You haven't connected dom0 directly to the bridge rather than
vif0.0 to the bridge have you?'... I took that to mean 'You haven't
connected eth0 in dom0 directly to the bridge rather than vif0.0 to the
bridge have you?'... was that the right interpretation?

My DomU is a mail server, so it needs to connect to the external
network, not just Dom0.

Thanks

James
