You need to set some config file options.

For the backend domain, set "netif=1" to tell Xend it's an authorised backend.

In the frontend, for each VIF you declare you need to add a "backend=dom" in 
the config list item for each vif, to connect that vif to the backend.  
Writing "dom" as a domain number will certainly work, I'm not sure if a 
textual domain name will work.

Cheers,
Mark
