What do you mean by 'i still ping eth0 on dom0 but no eth1'?  Where are
you pinging from?

Using the edit to /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp above,
I can do 'ping -I eth0 192.168.46.101' and 'ping -I eth1 192.168.46.101'
successfully when eth0 has IP address 192.168.46.143 and eth1 has IP
address 192.168.46.16.

>From 192.168.46.101, I can ping 192.168.46.143 and 192.168.46.16.

Is this the type of test you're doing?

I have also used eth1 explicitly for the bridge by doing 'export
netdev=eth1' before 'xend start' in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but I like
editing /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp better, since I can have xend run from
a regular init script.
