That'll be great - I did test a CentOS box domU a while ago, and that 
didn't have the problem with routing traffic, I wasn't able to test things 
like OpenVPN/DCHP on it - but the current netfront issues are annoying 
[there's at least 2 FreeBSD PR's I know of this would also address].

Thanks - I'll give that a go...  I also discovered that the 'virtio' 
virtual NIC's - *do* migrate OK, I'm just setting up a test platform using 
those to see if they have the same netfront issues as PV xn interfaces 
(i.e. can't route / openvpn fails).

I'll post back with the results of that + the patch when I have them,

Thanks,
