You kidding! we're only just getting started here. Actually, I think
things are looking quite good. My next suggestion is as follows:

Xen does not appear to like multiple addresses configured on the same
card, so lets configure one interface for each address. I should of seen this
earlier, but there's a lot of smoke around. Change the Dom1 config 
file to read:

vif=[ '', '', '' ]

I'm not sure if this will work as is, but it should create three
interfaces for Dom1 and add them all to the default bridge. Sorry, it's
not convienient for me to test this with my present setup.  We might
need to add mac="..." and/or bridge="..." statements - but hopefully it
should work as is.

Then in Dom1 configure each interface (eth0, eth1, eth2) with their own
address.
