I could have potentially hundreds of domUs bridged in the same
network.  What's the easiest way to assign MAC addresses for domUs? 
In random mode, how does Xen pick MAC addresses?  Once a MAC is chosen
for a domU, will it remain fixed?  How does Xen know whether a MAC
address has already been assigned?
