[xen-discuss] How should I specify the device interface bridge target in my domU

[James Adams]

When constructing an XML file to use for creating a new domU I'm specifying the network interface 
device like so:

    <devices>
        ...
        <interface type='bridge'>
            <source bridge='REPLACE_THIS'/>
            <target dev='vif-1.0'/>
            <mac address='REPLACE_THIS'/>
        </interface>
        ...
    </devices>
The attribute values which are marked 'REPLACE_THIS' in the template above get replaced by 
host-specific values when I construct the XML.  My question is whether or not I can safely use 
'vif-1.0' as the target device value for all domUs or if I should also be replacing this value on a 
host by host basis?  If I need to specify this attribute value per host then how can I determine 
what the correct value should be?

Thanks in advance for your comments, advice, etc.
