Neat. I completely missed that, it seems.

Fair enough :-) I'll need to figure out the best way to have it "store"
the two MAC addresses for my Xen guests. I guess that's not possible
yet given your other comments, so when you implement the multiple
bridges support, please don't forget me! ;-)

Thanks for your answer!

I'll poke cobbler and koan some more, especially koan since you told me
that the bug preventing it from using xenbr1 was fixed in 0.6.2, so
I should be able to get further with it now, even if it can't (yet) set
up the two vifs I need automatically.
