Could you elaborate a little on how you implemented this ? Did it 
involve changes to libvirt or xend code to support it ? If its a 
solution which other people would benefit from I'd like to see if
we could incorporate any neccessary changes in libvirt, or at least
document it as one of the deployment scenarios.
