Remember that as part of the Xen init process, the "real" eth0 is
renamed to peth0, and connected to xenbr0 giving your other machines
access to the network.  It's very possible that this might be screwing
with things for your pppoe software - maybe try using peth0 as the
interface name on the pppoe command line?  However, you're going to
run into problems with giving your Xen VM's access to the DSL without
some major changes to their init scripts so that your Xen DomU's use a
nat provided to them by Dom0.
