I've checked in new routing scripts to 2.0-testing and unstable
trees. Note that I have *not* changed the default behaviour, which is
to bridge VIFs at the MAC level.

If you want to route instead of bridge:

 1. Edit /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp. Delete the lines referring to
    bridging, and instead uncomment the lines referring to routing.

 2. You may want to edit /etc/xen/scripts/network-route and
    /etc/xen/scripts/vif-route. The former currently enables IP
    forwarding when xend is started; the latter brings up the VIF
    with a dummy IP address, installs a /32 routing rule (the IP
    address is grabbed from the config file as described in step 3),
    and enables proxy ARP.

 3. You will need to edit your VM config file to include a 'vif list'
    containing the IP address of each VIF you are configuring. i.e.,
    the list must look at least something like:
    vif = [ 'ip=1.2.3.4' ]
    (This just extends the existing 'vif' syntax, but a lot of people
    probably have been able to avoid needing to specify any vif
    details so far).

Let me know how you get on!
