Do you have two xen hosts on the same network? Do they both have the
same MAC address after starting xend?

It has been a while but yes, we were running two xen hosts in the same
network. Since they were both standard Debian installs they had the same
MAC address: FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

The patch from my initial bug report fixes this by assigning a separate
mac address.

Cheers,
