Ok, thanks Matthew and everyone else who helped.

It's now sunk in that I dont need to do anything to my working setup
other than change the ips appropriately, and the answer to my initial
question is I need an ip for each host I plan to have unfettered ip 
connectivity to, be they dom0 or domUs.

Occam's razor springs to mind.

I'd like to add that I'm not a big fan of making myself out to be some 
sort of cretin who cant read/understand documentation, but the alternative 
to this would be a day spent travelling to a distant datacentre to fix
some silly error. I hope it doesnt seem selfish that I would trade a few
moments of your time for a day of mine :)

Thanks
