        My DomU already has the control of the SATA device, and work really 
fine. But as you said, the hardrive and the DVD-RW are on the IDE 
controller. :-(

        Jun suggested iSCSI or AoE, but I could not find a implementation 
"ready for production". Anyone tried this before?

        I´m trying to avoid using Dom0. Everything is working in DomUs, 
including the "file server".

p.s. please, it is possible to configure the mailing list server to 
include a "reply-to" pointing to the list address? If you just reply to 
a msg it goes to the sender and not to the list.
