I would be more grateful then you can imagine:) As far as the pci stuff goes I 
have to get home and dig my notes out (based on your help from before), likely 
you'll spot my blunder once I iterate all I have done.

As far as the bonding issue goes, I am stuck on the following scenario:

I have two physical nics. I want the first setup like it would by default when 
using Xen3.2, it creates a bridge "eth0" and gets renamed to peth0 (That's 
good). I connect all my guests "Lan" nic to the vifs associated to this bridge.

I want the other nic to be in a bridge, but not have any ip or connectivity 
outside the bridge especially to the host. It will plug into a DSL modem and a 
vif associated to this bridge will be the red interface on a Linux firewall 
(Lab only environment). My custom bridge script is as follows:

#!/bin/sh
dir=$(dirname "$0")
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=0 netdev=eth0 bridge=eth0
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=1 netdev=eth1 bridge=eth1
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=2 netdev=dummy0 bridge=eth3   #Test lan

This is working, but how do I make sure the isolation is as I expect? Give the 
nic (eth1) an IP of 0.0.0.0? Is that very secure? I had an ip for testing 
although the nic wasn't plugged into a switch, when I did an ifconfig I didn't 
see the eth1/peth1 untill I did an ifconfig -a? Was that because of the media 
sense? Also, dummy0 is just a test lan for isolation so hosts can only see 
themselves. How could I also make sure packets never see the host?

Thanks!

(Now to find another Linux firewall appliance as I was using pfSense and it 
doesnt play nice with Xen)
