Yeah, that's about the same situation as me - haven't hit the limit yet,
but vaguely recall that there's something I can Google on what to
re-compile to increase the limit.  There's also something that's
similarly tricky about adding real NIC's to a machine - the number of
bridges plus NIC's has to equal 8, I think, by default.  With lots of
DomU's on a box you might want to add NIC's to increase throughput -
those 10GigE switches are still damn expensive.
