These symptoms seem to be different from mine: my HVM guests work OK, 
the PVM guest NetBSD does so, too (more or less :-), just the PVM domU
CentOS 5.3 consistently does not.  Over a single physical link, everything
is fine.

Will try that RSN.

This sounds a bit more complicated, so I'll leave that for later.

NetBSD is pretty good in that regard. I wish they had a ZFS port
and an NFSv4 port. :-)
