<para>I find Xen Domain 0 to be an arcane environment in which to try to

<para>I know of no case where a user has successfully used NAT
(including Masquerade) in a bridged Xen Dom0. So if you want to create a
masquerading firewall/gateway using Xen, you need to do so in a DomU

configure Xen to use routing and NAT rather than the default
bridging.</para>
