   Ah, gotcha. Thanks for that. For the record, I also found that I
needed to set the same option for vif-script in the xend-config.sxp.

   Now all I have to work out is why it's still trying to use vifD.X
for the relevant interface in the dom0, instead of tapY. At the
moment, I'm having to configure that bit manually. As you pointed
out[1], though, that seems to be a bug.
