"XenServer 5.6 FP1 didn't include physdev, ebtables, or arptables but they do   
  have a Cloud Supplemental pack available to partners which swaps out the
  kernels for kernels that support the networking rules."

So this is actually a kernel issue.

Ewan: is the "Cloud Supplemental pack" something that is still
available and usable with XCP 1.1 (based on XenServer 5.6 SP 2) or is
a recompilation of the kernel necessary? Has this been fixed with
XenServer 6 (Boston) that we will be the basis for the XCP release
(1.5 or 2.0) on?

Thanks,
Todd
