As far as I know a Linux domU does NOT use these values. They are meant
for something different: If you have an IP address in your domU config
AND you have configured xen with "antispoof=yes", then packets are
bridged only from this ip address.
You can still setup up the domU with a different ip address internally,
then, but if you do it does not have network connectivity.
In my experience the Linux domU does use it. I installed a Gentoo stage3
image, without modifying anything but /etc/fstab, and booted it with a
Linux domU kernel from the Xen distribution. It used the network
configuration from the Xen config file right out of the box.
