Hi,
Perhaps I've missed something. I believe multiple physical NICs and
multiple bridges both work correctly (using 2.0.7 from source, anyway)

eg. My Firewall config contains (overkill)
pci = ['00,0b,0', '00,0a,0' ]
nics=11
vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:00:22:01, bridge=br10', \
        'mac=aa:00:00:25:40:01, bridge=xen-br0', \
        'mac=aa:00:00:25:40:09, bridge=br1', \
        'mac=aa:00:00:25:40:17, bridge=br2', \
        'mac=aa:00:00:25:40:25, bridge=br3', \
        'mac=aa:00:00:25:40:33, bridge=br4', \
        'mac=aa:00:00:25:40:49, bridge=br5', \
        'mac=aa:00:00:25:40:45, bridge=br6', \
        'mac=aa:00:00:25:40:73, bridge=br7', \
        'mac=aa:00:00:25:40:81, bridge=br8', \
        'mac=aa:00:00:25:40:97, bridge=br9' ]

So that's 2 REAL nics and 11 virtual for the Firewall.

Marcus.
