Xen users - Jan 2008 - CentOS 5.1 Fully Virtualized Bridged Network

I have spent the better part of the last eight hours fighting with trying to
set up a test box in a bridged mode on my server.

First i had to comment out the brctl addif $2 $1 from the qemu-ifup file and
then I also had to manually change my route from the vif2.0 interface to the
tap0 interface. I also had to manually enable proxy_arp.

Can anyone explain to me why I needed the route to go to tap0 instead of
vif2.0?

Secondly, this requires for each interface that i have online a tap and a
vif. Is there any better way to handle this? Also is there any way to update
the script to automatically create the correct route to the tap instead of
the vif.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I am forced to use bridged
networking due to the network config beyond my server.
