are you using PCI passthru? If you are passing each device directly to the DomU, then it will just be standard linux networking. Being onboard though, I suspect you are dealing with some sort of realtek switch fabric that shows up as a single PCI device (roboswitch type) and you would not be able to pass that thru. Can you do an lspci and show us how those devices present themselves?

  I have a hardware here with 9 NICs (8 of them on-board)
 and I want to set up 8 NICs as real network interfaces,
 one for each xen domain. The 9th NIC should be Domain-0
 which is working well. Currently I have only set up
 one domain which is running in bridged mode at the moment.

  I am currently trying to set up a second domain which
 uses eth2 but I didn't succeed. I want to get the
 system run with 8 domains in which every guest is
 using one NIC.

  Is there some documentation or FAQ about how to set up
 this configuration?

Cheers,
 Frank
