you don't need an alias on eth0 to do that, create a bridge NOT attached to an 
hw interface in dom0, connect the domU's to that bridge, and setup dom0 to 
route between eth0 and that bridge.

Be aware that ALL other computers in your network have to be aware of your 
dom0 being a router for the domUs in that setup for it to work.
If you don't need real IPs for your domUs, you can also nat/masquerade between 
eth0 and the bridge.
