Thanks for the additional information. I have requested the current  
configuration of my DomU from my provider.

A small company in southern germany. They are providing me a custom  
solution, since no one seems to be able to provide a virtual FreeBSD  
of the shelf in germany. The bright side: the service is top notch.
Please write me off-list, if you need a contact.
