[Fedora-xen] problems with xend-http-server

[Matthias Bayer]

Hi,

i am using official xen-3.0.1-4 on FC5 with kernel 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5xen0 x86_64.
i am facing some problems with xend-http-server.

i have configure the following within xend-config.sxp:
(xend-http-server yes)
(xend-port            8000)
(xend-address '')

after restarting xend i am facing two different scenarios and behaviours that i don't understand/ need confirmed to see if this is a bug:

scenario 1:
1) connect from remote system to http://<my_xen_system>:8000/xend/
==> everything works fine, the xend page starts up and works
2) now connect to the same address from the xen system (from Dom0) either with a browser or by using 'wget http://<my_xen_system>:8000/xend/'
==>  fails with message
Connecting to <my_xen_system>|16.57.34.76|:8000... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...

scenario 2:
first restart xend using 'service xend restart'
1) connect from Dom0 using a web browser
==> works fine
2) connect from Dom0 using 'wget http://<my_xen_system>:8000/xend/'
==> works fine as well
3) connecting from Dom0 using wget http://localhost:8000/xend/'
==> works fine
4) connect from remote system with a web browser to http://<my_xen_system>:8000/xend/
==> works fine
5) connect again from Dom0 using 'wget http://<my_xen_system>:8000/xend/
==> fails again ......
Connecting to <my_xen_system>|16.57.34.76|:8000... connected.
BTW: if you use firefox locally on Dom0 to connect to the xend-http-server after the connection from remote was made before the system runs on a high load without doing anything ....

so i guess always after connection from remote to the xend-http-server i cannot connect to it from Dom0 afterwards - at least for some time .....

also over time since i enabled xend-http-server i see some messages on my serial console saying:
peth0: received packet with own address as source address

did somebody also see this message? what does it mean? where does it come from ?

can somebody confirm/explain the above described behaviour ? is this a bug ?

regards,
Matthias
