You don't mention what mode you've got the Xen Dom0 networking in, but I'll assume you're using the Fedora default which is bridging. With bridging, each DomU's virtual NIC gets pretty much directly connected to the physical LAN. As such Dom0 has no involvement in assigning IP addresses. The DomU will get its IP address either manually (DomU admin setting it in /etc/sysconfig/...) or automatically via DHCP. With bridging there isn't really any 100% reliable way to determine what the DomU's IP address is from Dom0. You can take a best guess by sniffing the network traffic on the vif, but that's all it is - a best 'guess'.
