I was thinking of small offices with a single server, Linux-Vserver, and 
keeping file sharing (Samba), and other applications in different 
guests.  Or a pretty healthy host in a colo and several guests providing 
  PBX using SIP services for SOHO and virtual offices.

How much machine do you have the two * guests in and are there any other 
guests and how much of a load?

I have a test machine but only one service provider (Vitelity.Net) and 
two route-able IPs so testing load isn't going to go very far.  Hoping 
for some insight.

Lastly.  You doing this for fun, personal use, or as a service?
