Re: Please help with the configuration of Debian 8 and Xen and networking with only one network card and multiple external IP addresses.

Just to follow up what Costa said.

It seems clear from the Xen docs [1] that you want to create a bridge
which will contain the virtual devices from your guests.

Then, enable forwarding (firehol will do this automatically if you
have a router).

Use dnat to make incoming connections matching particular criteria go
to particular hosts. If using firehol, make sure the natted connections
are allowed in a router between your main ethernet and the bridge.

You should be able to use snat to make connections out of particular
hosts appear on particular IPs but I suggest you start with getting
all the incoming working before doing this.
