Why not.  This is bog-standard, has nothing to do with Xen at all:

----------8<----------
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface

# The primary network interface

iface bond0 inet static
        address         10.253.2.7

My two physical interfaces are eth-gb1 and eth-gb2; these names are
prescribed by editing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to
match the interface names printed on the case.

xend-config.sxp contains:
(network-script network-dummy)
(vif-script vif-bridge)

and the domU config files contain lines like:

vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:01:f0:73, bridge=br894',
        'mac=00:16:3e:01:f0:75, bridge=br897' ]

Good luck,
Feri.
