Re: [Xen-users] Specify domain ID?

My only true reason for wanting a static domain ID is when I have to
connect to a domain via VNC -- the display number is the domain ID. If I
reboot, power off, etc. I have to SSH in and look at what the new domain
ID is so I can use VNC.

I've read about that too, but from what I understood that does not affect
the domain ID. From /etc/xen/xmexample2:
# The vmid is purely a script variable, and has no effect on the the domain
# id assigned to the new domain.

So I take it this is not possible -- I wonder if this feature will ever be
added? Maybe there is a reason for always assigning a new domain ID?
