Hi Mike,

I'm just wondering if you found anything detail about this issue?  In
particular, is it safe to backport the patch to the version of the tools
in Debian, and if not, is the workaround (editing the file by hand) valid?

Could you also comment on a couple of related things about the
capabilities of pif-reconfigure-ip, so that I can update the README.Debian?

- is there any way to set multiple addresses on an interface, within the
same subnet, using pif-reconfigure-ip?  E.g. if the subnet is
192.168.1.0/24, is it possible to assign both 192.168.1.2 and
192.168.1.3 to the dom0 host using a pif-reconfigure-ip command?

- does pif-reconfigure-ip support IPv6 addresses, or there is some other
command, or dom0 IPv6 is not possible?

- can pif commands be used with dummy interfaces, e.g. to create a
dummy0 interface on dom0, assign an IP address and then bridge that
dummy0 into an internal network?  Or pif commands are only valid for
genuine physical interfaces?

Regards,

Daniel
