I've been eager for this "issue" to be "addressed" (quotation marks
are used in good fun) for quite a while.  I need a domU that acts as 
a router between multiple internal domUs (via vifs) and multiple 
external LANs (via peths).  I've seen this question pop up on the 
mailing list every 4 months or so, and I always hope to see a 
new answer!
