Hello Tom,
  I'd like to take advantage of your presence here to make tyou a question...
I saw that all your xen configurations use bridging, regardless of the 
complexity of the network topology one needs....  that not wrong in 
principle, of course ..

my curiosity is about a you opinion about advantages and/or disadvantages of 
the the routing in a configuration in which one has a number of domUs not 
needing a public IP and running different services (it is a single server 
with its services splitted on different domUs)..

In this configuration the dom0 being the router/firewal controlling all the 
traffic from the domUs to/from each others and to/from the net/fw...

A your opninion would be very very apreciated as you are a very skilled person 
in this field (of course :-P)

Regards
