Xen users - Apr 2011 - Does any one know how to build a virtual network interface with vlan ID in dom0?

Dear all:
    I met a problem recently.
    I am using Xen to build my virtual network, and vlan ID is used to seprate 
different virtual networks. At first I built the network bridge with a physical 
network device with vlan as its port directly. Then my virtual host could send 
and recieve normal packets while these packets are encapsulated in vlan ethernet
frames once they come into physical links. However, there is an upper bond for 
the number of network bridges in domain 0. My solution is moving the vlan ID 
from the network bridge to vif-birdge, which could reduce the need for network 
bridge. As introduced in the manual that "Each domain network interface is 
connected to a virtual network interface in dom0 by a point to point link",
I
want to add a vlan ID to this virtual network interface in dom0. But the 
difficulty is that I can''t find where the virtual network interface in
dom0 is
built in the program. Could anyone be kind to help me?
 
    Thanks 
    Yours: hubery

We''re going to need more information than what you''ve given.
What OS
are you using for your Dom0? Which version of xen are you using?
