Right, I have now got it to work by manually adding an IP address
and switching routes around.  Is there something obvious I have
missed that enables this to work by itself after reboot?

And here's what I have to do to make it work:

# ip addr add 217.147.93.65 dev xenbr0
# ip route del 217.147.93.64/29
# ip route add 217.147.93.64/29 dev xenbr0

Is there a more elegant way to make this Just Work?

Thanks,
Andy
