I have a second NIC that I would like to plug into the net directly and then
bridge with a virtual interface in a dom-u. The virtual interface will be
setup to dynamically acquire its IP (iso restriction) but I don't want Dom-0
to have access to the net with the physical nic.

Would I simply assign it 0.0.0.0 as an IP with a mask of 255.255.255.255 to
accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hi!

A bridge is at layer two, while IP is on layer three. So there is no need to configure the IP layer at all to get bridging to work. Not even "0.0.0.0".
