Hi all,
what''s the meaning ot the network frontend and backend?
can them be treated as connected network?

it''s strange that I can not make it work.

in doman-0:
[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig vif2.0
vif2.0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
         inet addr:10.0.0.254  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
         UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
         RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
         TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:48 overruns:0 carrier:0
         collisions:0 txqueuelen:32
         RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

in hvm domain-2
IP. 10.0.0.1, mask, 10.0.0.0, gw, 10.0.0.1

but ping from domain-2 to domain-0 failed
[domain-2, widonws]ping 10.0.0.254

i''m not using bridge network, here is the brctl output.
[root@localhost ~]# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
xenbr0          8000.f646e0ae933a       no              tap0

and here is the xend-config.sxp
#(network-script network-bridge)
(network-script ''network-nat dhcp=yes'')
(vif-script     vif-nat)
