Are you referring to setting an IP address in DomU's configuration file?
If it is so, you don't have to.
Although it was present in some HOWTOs, and i believe xen-tools create
such configuration files, it is not necessary. You can leave DomU's
network configuration to just vif=['bridge=xenbr0'] , and leave out IP
configuration. Then configure DomU's ip in usual way:
/etc/network/interfaces within DomU.
I also had to specify mac='00:16:3E:xx:xx:xx' within that vif=
statement because since udev update in etch, every time I reboot DomU
it looses ethx and discovers ethx+1 since udev persistent net rules
identifies eth0 by it's mac address. So it had to be fixed instead
randomly assigned. (replace xx with your own unique hex digits)

Subject: Etch: XEN domU networking
To: debian-user@lists.debian.org
Hello everyone
Today I've found the following problem: when I start domU under xen with
stock debian kernel (linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686) domU has no network
interfaces. Discovering the problem I found that this kernel was
compiled with:
# CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set
so it does not allow to pass network interface parameters to kernel when
boot.
So how do I need to set up domU with this kernel to use under default
Etch installation ? Or should I instead compile and use my own kernel ?
