Yesterday i needed to setup a Xen machine where only the MAC address of the host (dom0) was allowed by the firewall. Because of this, a bridged setup could not be used since all domU's will be using their own MAC address. So i needed a routed setup instead. That way the host (dom0) will be used as a "router" for the domU's and the firewall would only see the MAC of the dom0 host when communicating. Configuration is quite easy. Edit /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and comment out the bridge related stuff.
