I seem to have had that working for a time, then it went away and I'm not 
sure what I broke to make it not work again. I modified the vif script and 
just added the dhcp server address to every xvif and had nothing but xvif 
in the bridge. Although the routing looked a bit off it didn't matter 
because it was all on the bridge anyway.
