If you like to have network which is by no means accessible by dom0,
this impossible. Afaik, this is also true for remote exec exploits
against dom0 networkstack.
Maybe (not sure if this is possible) you could delegate the network
handling to another udom, but then the root of this udom would be able
to access these networks.
What but it is possible to use an interface as bridge target without
assigning an ip address.

No idea here, I configure my networking manually, so the
mac=[MAC],bridge=eth0 form is, what I'm talking about.

Depending on your needs crossbow maybe closer to your opinions.
A look at opensolaris as dom0 might be useful if you plan more complex
security related network setups in your virtual environment.
