Re: [Xen-users] Manually setting IP address in domain config file

[Michael Musson <musson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good idea, but I would like to be able to manually set the IP address
without hard coding it into the filesystem somewhere.  I've been looking
around and it looks like the functionality is supposed to be there with
setting ipaddr="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" in the domain config file, but it
doesnt seem to be working.
