And the problem may happen more frequently than 10 minutes, I've just only 
noticed
it while in coding roughly that often. I've done nothing at all to configure or
change the configuration of the bridges, as I remember it, it all just worked 
out
of the box. All of my domains have "vif = [ 'bridge=xen-br0' ]" -- is that a
problem?
