I guess what I am asking is if I can install for instance IPCop on domain3
and have it protect domains 0-9 or if I need to as you say run IPTables on
domain0 to restrict the guests... can I filter all traffice through dom3
or am I required to filter it through dom0 if I want any kind of
filtering?

Ever lied?  You're a liar.  Ever stolen?  You're a thief.  Ever hated? The
bible equates hate with murder.  Ever lusted?  Jesus equated lust with
adultery.  You've broken God's law.

He'll judge all evil and you're without hope -- unless you have a savior. 
Repent and believe.
