thx. running changeset: 7421:aabc33c3c0ac with the default vif-route and
network-route.  i dont fully understand the
tie between vif0.0 and eth0 in dom0. i thought vif1.1 in dom0 was linked
to eth0 in domU (not vif0.0 in dom 0 as in ur diagram).  yes i have two
real ints eth0 and eth1 (and i intend to use both of them using linux's 
advanced routing/load balancing).

bash-3.00# ip route show

172.31.254.253 dev vif1.1  scope link  < ***** i added this manually
172.31.215.128/25 dev eth1  proto kernel  scope link  src 172.31.215.177
172.31.205.128/25 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 172.31.205.177
172.31.205.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 172.31.205.177
172.31.215.0/24 dev eth1  proto kernel  scope link  src 172.31.215.177
169.254.0.0/16 dev eth1  scope link
default
        nexthop via 172.31.205.1  dev eth0 weight 1
        nexthop via 172.31.215.1  dev eth1 weight 1


despite my confusion (getting better thx to you) things seem to be
working, mostly, cept some small thingies like:

-       xm create doesnt seem to like a 32 bit netmask (255.255.255.255)
in the dom conf file
-       same for having dom1 be its own default router (i.e. proxy arp)
