Yep! that's the 2 steps needed for a static IP address on eth0

- an ifcfg-eth0-local file as Rodolfo's example

- upstream DNS servers set as forwarders

Also, /etc/resolv.conf needs to be pointing to the DNS server on the
XS. Otherwise the local names (needed for ejabberd and other services)
will be missing (unless you configure the upstream DNS servers to
serve them but that is more complicated).

cheers,
