Cesar, it sounds interesting.  Could you produce a quick diagram to  
show how you would expect the end result to look?  For example, what  
would be the links between different NICs and the bridge?  At which  
points would you apply filtering and traffic grooming?

Not yet.  We have some updated bridge code that we should make  
available, but have not got around to it yet.  Perhaps via SVN would  
be a good approach.  (The updated code is included in the recent  
Solaris on Xen[1] code drop if you are really desperate.)

dme.
