Hi again,
first, I have to admit that english is not my native language, so I am having a
hard time to describe such things. I will try to explain it a bit better.
>So the guest is pingable from the outside, but can't ping to the
>outside and get replies back?
I can ping the IP addresses, yes. I can not ping anything from inside the guest.
>At first glance, I see all the aliases you give for eth2:X and don't

Perhaps I am lacking some knowledge in configuring network interfaces here?
I wanted to have my network card eth2 listen to the providers IP and to
the two aliases. Since I am quite new to this, I might have choosen the wrong
method.
>Another important question: do you want to use bridged, nat or routed

That's what I am not sure off. I'll try a little picture.
eth2 (( dom0 ))
eth2:1 eth2:2
(( used to host a small webserver )) (( hosting a mail server ))
Now I wanted the dom0 system to redirect all packages for the IP of eth2:1
to the matching XEN guest, same for eth2:2.
Again, I am new to all this, so I'm not aware, which method is the right one for
me to use in such a case.
If that's just the wrong method to set things up, what's right? Any help is very
much appreciated. Feeling totally stupid on this one.
> I also don't understand why you don't have an eth0 or eth1. Can you

There is a eth0 and eth1 network interface available, but these are only used
for local networks, eth0 is connected to a backup host, eth1 is connected to my
private network.
>Look at brctl show if all interfaces are connected to bridges correctly.
So I ran xm create for the first guest, and after starting it, brctrl show gives
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xenbr2 8000.feffffffffff no vif1.0
Now I checked if vif1.0 is really attached to my guest, and xm network-list for
the domain shows
Idx BE MAC Addr. handle state evt-ch tx-/rx-ring-ref BE-path
0 0 00:16:3e:43:34:ed 0 4 8 522 /523
/local/domain/0/backend/vif/1/0
If I am not totally stupid, this tells me, the virtual network interface of
my guest, is attached to xenbr2, which in turn is the bridge for eth2.
>3) when you hook your different subnet into one pohysical bridge
>(which is strrange and I donät see the reason what this should bring),
I'm not really sure, how to do this right. But I probably lack knowledge on
network setups in this case.
I would have to add routes in the dom0 for the guests, right?
With kind regards,
Daniel
