Yes, Xen.  I'm not so far as I know running DHCP, but it might be
configured by default.

Haven't touched anything of that nature (and the install is only hours
old, I still remember what I did :-) ).

The domU got it's ip from the corporate DHCP server, which is what I
intended (that's why I'm running bridged, I'm using virtual servers to
separate functions while conserving physical boxes, so I want them to
present as separate systems to users on the network).

Can't retest right now, as I'm back to just a newly installed Dom0 for
what I hope will be the actual production install.
