Your problem is different as you have a nice throughput between VMs on xn1, sorry that I missed that on my first message. Did you try to transfer data from something connected to xn0 to one of yours DomU servers connected to xn1 without NAT? You also mentioned pf. Did you make any test using natd or anything else? Something tells me that's not a nic problem, but that's just a guess. Anyway, on the coming weeks I will have to set up a similar environment to yours, so maybe I'll face the same problem (although we use natd daemon instead of pf). Good luck!
