I've got a dom0 that does nothing but have a DomU created.  The DomU gets
plenty of load.  Over time, the dom0's ipconntrack table fills up but not
the DomU.  Once it gets full I can restart iptables and it's fine.

The strange thing is this only happens on hosts I have provided (hardware
and hosting) from one location.  I'm not really sure what kind of boxes
they are or if the architecture is a red herring.

I sure would like to know what is going on, the network setup is bridged
but the dom0 is the domU's gateway host (don't ask why I'm doing both)

Any thoughts?

        -Mike
