Ideally the library of domains would be available to more than one
machine running xen. So I could use LVM on the "library" machine. Anyone have suggestions on how to load the domain from the library
onto the xen machines?  Rsync?  (Does LVM have a way to do this?  A
quick read through the howto did not reveal that to me.)

Please, reply also to the list, not just to me :-).

LVM can (afaik) operate over any block device, so the setup you want is to have some blockdev in pristine state and others serving as a storage for domains. Some cluster management suite could help you, but I'm not sure if there's anything that supports block device sharing between computers...
