I am reposting this in the crossbow discussion which might seem more appropriate...
I have read all the documents at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs and some outdated blog entries. I can't seem to find current documentation on how xen networking is implemented on solaris. My solaris dom0 has only one physical network interface. I need to have each domU network interface bridged to a separate vnic with private IP addresses; this is similar to host-only network in vmware. I can do that on my linux dom0 using dummy interfaces. I can't have them bridge to the same physical nic for security reasons. Also my ISP only knows about the MAC address of the physical nic and all my public IP addresses are only useable with that mac address; I will do full nat or port forwarding to connect the domUs to the internet if need be. I looked at the way vnic are created by xen (using /usr/lib/vna nic mac ) and it doesn't seem to let me create a vnic that is not attached to a physical interface. I really need something like linux dummy interfaces. This message posted from opensolaris.org
