Hopefully you don't have ipvs or lvs running on your dom0? Before I
knew any better I put the LVS directors on 2 dom0s and ended up with
lots of softlockup_tick kernel "panics" which would invariably bring the
network to a screeching halt on domUs for several seconds - long enough
for nanny (I'm using piranha) to mark a server as offline.
Moving the LVS directors to their own xen VM solved these kernel lockups
and network problems.
I'm wondering if your first point may have something to do with this
problem.
Cheers,
Dan
