Sounds like an old problem
Try this

If you're still using an old version (from Centos 5.0, for example),
you should try updating it to the latest available version first (RHEL
5 is currently at xen-3.0.3-80.el5 and kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5).

It's normal. vif1.0 is your domU's eth0, vif0.0 is the backend for
your dom0's eth0, peth0 is your real eth0.
