When you run "xend start", you should see a bridge device being
created (xen-br0), and the IP address and routes that previously
were set up for eth0 being transferred to xen-br0. Doing the
transfer is necessary because of an oddity in the Linux bridge
code.

Killing a domain certainly shouldn't cause you to loose
networking in dom0. "/etc/xen/vif-bridge down" doesn't do very
much, so I'm surprised its causing you problems.

You might want to try commenting out all the iptables lines below
the 'brctl' line.

Mike Wray's the s-expression champion. I believe he rolled his own.
