That's correct.

In domain 0, ifconfig reports 0 errors, 0 dropped on eth0; 0 errors, 2 
dropped on vif1.0, and 0 errors, 5 dropped on vif2.0; 0 errors, 0 
dropped on xen-br0.

In domain 1, ifconfig reports 0 for errors and dropped.

For some reason I can't get a console onto the other domain right now, 
but I suspect it will report the same thing as domain 1.

Can try these.
