I think it does make some difference in that I don't specify an IP, my
vif= lookslike this:
dhcp = 'dhcp'
vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:00:00:22, bridge=xenbrDMZ' ]
but I use dhcp. the other likely important bit is the made-up MAC
address for the virtual interface. That fake mac address becomes the
HwAddr in my DomU's ifconfig output. It looks to me like you are
passing a real mac address which would cause all kinds of problems, I
suspect.
And, in retrospect, IP probably *doesn't* matter because you can set
that in the domU when it brings up it's interface. I strongly
recommend you try this with a fake mac address of the type I'm using
and see what happens.

the bridge will *not* end up with an IP. It will have a funcky hwaddr
like FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and that's it. The bridge just connects
different ends of virtual interfaces and is not an interface itself,
per se.***

you mean the IP address ended up on xenbr1? That's because you
specified an actual piece of hardware in that vif= line, I think. My
understanding is that you want something like this:
eth0/Dom0 ( a real interface)
|
|
192.168.1.21
real mac address
|
Dom0--------------xenbr1--------potentially other DomU's on same subnet
|
|
192.168.1.2
fake mac address
|
DomU
I have a working, 3 DomU xen setup with one as firewall, one as DMZ
mail server, one as DMZ web server, Dom0 as local fileserver. This
includes using pciback to hide my internet-side interface from Dom0. I
would be happy to share my complete config if you'd like.
