No, that won't work. Are you famliar with the difference between
bridge and route?
I believe you have two alternatives :
(1) Setup multiple bridges
For example, br0 for eth0 and br1 for eth1. Then you assign two NICs
to domU, each NIC on different bridge. Think of it like having two
switches: one switch for eth0, another for eth1. In this scenario domU
will be like another dom0 in that it have a "private connection" to
third machine via second NIC.
(2) setup static routing on dom0 and domU.
This way traffic from domU to thrid machine can go something like this:
domU eth0 -> dom0 xenbr0 -> dom0 eth1 -> third machine eth1.
Note that this does not involve adding extra bridge or another IP
address. You just setup static routes and enable ipv4 forwarding on
dom0.
