I'm using only one nic in my setup, but had to use a different approach for
the bridges, which will probably work nice for you, too.

I didn't let the xen scripts handle bridge creation, but used my Xen0 OSes
init scripts for bridectl for it (gentoo comes with premade scripts there,
probably other linux flavors, too.)

I had it setup a "br0" bridge, on eth0, should be trivial to have it generate
br1 for eth1 and so on.

Then I had my xendomains configured to use that bridge instead, like:
vif = [ 'mac=de:ad:be:ef:00:00, bridge=br0' ]

in your case,
vif = [ 'mac=de:ad:be:ef:00:00, bridge=br0',
'mac=00:de:ad:be:ef:00, bridge=br1'
]
(with "nics=2" set)
should do the trick.

I don't remember if I had to patch the xen startup scripts to prevent creation
of 'xen-br0', maybe you'll need to do that...

Greetings

i can do this whith brctrl i think, but it would probably be better, if i use
the scripts from xen. i donno if this makes any difference.

I am not very familar with bridging.

Thank you for you advise
