Is there anyway to bind to a dedicated interface without modifying the pci hardware stuff? Right now I have : eth1 -> vif1.1 -> breth1 -> peth1. Is it possible to eliminate the pass through vif1.1 and breth1 directly to peth1? Reason I can''t use the pci work around is that the peth1 is a modified tuntap interface and does not exist as a pci hardware device.

I was trying to find something other than pciPassThrough stuff. The interface I am trying to bind to does not have a pci ID since it''s not a hardware backed interface.

You then have the VIF and the interface bound together, but not accessible to anything else (unless you also specifically give them access to the bridge). Bear in mind that on some distros, if you don''t assign an IP address to an interface, you may have to manually bring it up (set it''s state to up). -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
