Help me to understand this please.
On a xen-host there is for example the following interfaces:
xenbr0 xenbr1 - which I understand as Xen bridge interfaces.
peth0 peth1
vif0.0, vif0.1, vif1.0, vif1.1
So which of those do I configure in Racktables for the host?
On the guest I have eth0 and eth1 as IPv4 configured. Then, according
to what you said above I must use one veth-port on the guest. So I
define such a port. Does it matter what I call it?
How do I link it with the interface on the host?
What if another host has exactly the same interfaces as this one?

Johann
