The domain ID changes from time to time, depending on which order the domains were started / restarted So, this is not very reliable, especially for cacti stats - which uses the device name for traffic graphs

Install snmpd on each domU and let cacti poll the NICs from the domU rather than the dom0 (especially if you'll be measuring cpu/memory/disk usage of each domU as well).
