Apologies if these questions are rather basic, but I'm a little
confused by the bridging.
I've got a debian sarge dom0 with several debian sarge domUs, using
different IPs in the same network and the default bridging setup and
for IPv4 everything seems to work fine.
One thing I've noticed though, is that my dom0 cannot talk to any of
the domUs over IPv6 even though IPv6 is fully working in the domUs and
works for non-local addresses in dom0:

so have I missed something obvious? IPv4 works fine.
Secondly, my next goal is to use iptables in dom0 to restrict what
can get to both dom0 and the domUs.
If I need to refer to an interface in iptables (and ip6tables),
should it be eth0 or xen-br0?
Does all traffic for all domains arrive at both eth0 and xen-br0?
And leave by both those interfaces? Do the vif interfaces play any
role for iptables?
If I want to put in iptables rules to do accounting from traffic
going to/from each domain, should I be doing that by looking what
goes over each vif?
Finally, here's an example config file for one of my domUs:
name="foo"
memory=128
kernel="/boot/xen-linux-2.6.10xenu"
nics=1
disk=[ 'phy:mainvg/fooroot,sda1,w',
'phy:mainvg/fooswap,sda2,w' ]
root="/dev/sda1 ro"
when this got started this domain got a random MAC address as
expected. Then I realised that it would automatically configure an
IPv6 address based on that random MAC. As I don't want the IPv6
address to change again, I guess I need to tell it to keep the MAC
it has chosen already, across any restarts.
The domU currently has a MAC of aa:00:00:0a:dd:6a. Do I just need
to add:
vif=[ 'mac=aa:00:00:0a:dd:6a' ]
to the config file?
Thanks for any help or pointers with these probably very basic
questions.
