Re: [Xen-devel] NAT through Dom0 on unstable branch



There are some scripts for setting up the NAT already in Xen (although they do 
not do exactly the same thing as you want to, as no bridge is set up. At 
least in the original version that I came up with).
It would be interesting to see if they work.

Cheers
