Further to my last email, DHCP in Dom0 could also do this easily. And
Dom0 anti-spoofing could ensure that if you change the IP address
manually the worst thing that would happen is that your DomU just
wouldn't have network connectivity anymore.
There probably aren't many situations where DHCP wouldn't be the right
solution.
