i have spent the last 5 hours searching for some post/blog/experience on VDE Xen combo. but to no avail.

VDE seems to be popular with KVM and other non virtualized environments . Are there ways to use it with Xen, i mean, transparently connect a set of DomUs in different physical hosts in different networks , to form one virtual network?

If this cannot be done at Dom0 side, it always can be done at the DomU side, where the domu plugs into a vde switch. But are there any ballpark stats on the performance drops?

to put things in a nut shell, I am looking for some decent solution (with acceptable levels of performance loss) to form a virtual network of DomUs that are spread across physical machines, across physical networks (some behind nats/firewalls).
is vlan the way to go?how?

thanks
