I could use this too, where I have a DomU providing iSCSI services to 
other DomU's using phy: disks.  Right now starting up the dependent 
DomU's is a manual intervention - I need to write a simple chat from 
DomU to Dom0 to tell it to proceed.  In my case I can do it by IP 
address, but for scaling out, the dynamic method would be swell.

I seem to recall several heated (sic) discussions on bugzilla and 
fedora-devel over various approaches to automated ad-hoc firewall rules. 
  The Xen scripts can probably handle this now but it might be nice to 
eventually integrate if a proper Fedora solution is constructed.
