       I'm a bit late in this discussion, so sorry if this idea has already been axed, but could you buy a PCI card with USB ports and pass it through to the domU instead of trying to pass through a USB device?

You mean while it's attempting to start? See below.

I could probably get away with centos in a production environment, but definitely not fedora. SLES10 is our current "standard". Unfortunately I need usb functionality for a production server, whether that is or is not recommended.

Thanks,
James
