The addition of a new private network segment seems like 
overkill and needless additional fragility and complexity -- 
if one to one, use a remote syslog setup (viz., over UDP); if 
one to many (domU), use a multicast sender and listeners.

Run either on the existing network seqment shared by the domUs 
and dom0 already.
