[CentOS-virt] Packet loss between Xen machines

Pinging from one domU other domUs shows dropped packets, which is
how we initially discovered something odd was going on. It also happens
pinging to the domUs from other physical machines. 

netstat -i in dom0
shows dropped packets (TX-DRP) on the vif devices. Within the domUs it
comes back with zeros. 

It only seems to happen under fairly heavy
load. 

The machines in question are on the same bridge xen. That bridge
has separate subnets and one domU is a router that routes between them
(and performs LVS functions).

between the net and the machines or between machines bridged together

and/or has ideas on how to diagnose the issue?
