Using routing rather than bridging works just fine. It's arguable that
this would be a better default. (Other than the need for a DHCP relay).
We should probably include alternatives to /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge
and /etc/xen/scripts/network that demonstrate how to set this up.
Basically, in /etc/xen/scripts/vif-router : 
 enable proxy_arp on vifX
 give vifX some (/32) IP addr e.g. 10.10.10.vifX
 ip route add <ip_dom1> dev vifX
Your /etc/xen/scripts/network-routing script just needs to enable ip
forwarding (if it isn't already).
[It may be possible to configure the VIF as a point-to-point interface,
and hence avoid the need for the 10.x address at all. If anyone has this
working I'd be interested to hear.]
If anyone has any decent example scripts I'd like to see them documented
and go into the repo.
Cheers,
Ian
