i wander if  XEN support multiple driver domain (as you know, a driver domain is the domain has backend driver.) is it possible that a couple of backend driver place in multiple drvier domain? (for example,a network backend driver places in driver domain1 and a block backend driver places in driver domain 2)

Yes, that ought to be able to work. By convention, net backends and block backends reside in dom0. There's no reason why you can't also run several other net backend and block backend domains. The domains can either have frontends of their own (e.g. a firewall domain might have a net frontend and a net backend), or they can access PCI devices directly. You can only have one domain controlling any given PCI device.

You'll still need to give dom0 devices it can boot the system from initially though!
