Depending on if the DomU is on the same network as Dom0 (eg
10.0.0.0/24), you could probably use something like 'nmap -sP -PR
10.0.0.0/24' and then grep the arp tables for the MAC address. This will
probably work even if the DomU is firewalled from , as ARP filtering is
almost never done.

Is there the concept of a xen socket for communicating with other
domains? It would be nice if this existed and you could run something
like snmp over it, which would allow you to get this and more
information.
