  You're welcome.  This'll be the last one for the night, gonna go

  If you're using the default Xen setup for networking it will be
 bridged; you'll see xenbr0 in your 'ifconfig' output ..

  (I'm not clear on what you're asking there ..)

  Well you have the xen choices of routed/bridged/natted setups.

  Each of those will behave differently, and not all will use a bridge.

  Not sure I'm afraid.  I had the impression that ioemu was related
 to using Qemu to emulate some things for hardware based virtualisation,
 but I've not used it explicitly.

  I'd imagine the Xensource.com manual/wiki would be a useful starting
 point if you wanted to learn more.  Or your favourite search engine ..
