For restricting traffic at the dom0 level I use ebtables (it's like iptables but on a bridge level). It allows you to to basic filtering between the real interfaces (from the dom0) and virtual interfaces (from the domU's). This off course works because Xen is using bridges to link the real interfaces with the virtual ones.
