[CentOS] can't access irc server on xen domU, please help

[rudiahlers at gmail.com]

Hey Kai,

I just made an interesting discovery. As I said in my previous post,
the domU is running on a different subnet from the dom0 - and although
the traffic from the dom0 to the domU doesn't travel via a switch, it
does seem like this is causing a problem

The dom0 is on x.x.136.110/27 (x.x.136.97 = default gw) and the domU
is on x.x.136.55/27 (x.x.136.33 = default gw)
The subnet mask on both are 255.255.255.224

The server connects to a switch, and then to a firewall on the
internet. The network firewall itself has 4 WAN ports, and 4 different
subnets. For a fact, I know I can't communicate with a host from one
subnet, to a host on another subnet, since the network firewall
doesn't allow it.

So, I have a feeling this affect the networking on the Xen server as
well, even if I take the network firewall out of the picture.

How do I work with a XEN domU on a different subnet than the XEN dom0?
