No problem. I find them very useful for clusterable services like radius,

Encapsulated revision control pretty much. I can clone a system image on my
nas that is in production in a mass hosting environment with perl5.8 and
upgrade it to 6.2, look at the performance, load and stability
but if you're running on a box with multiple other instances
of jailed FreeBSD, presumably all running their own jobs,
you're going to have a hard time figuring how how your
realserver instance will handle the load?
The jail is also handy for partitioning access for security as well, so it
acts as an extra layer of privilege separation.
OK
Its a very light weight architecture compared to the overhead of vmware or
xen, but if my lvs-dr setup was being used for a service that was load
centric instead of HA, I'd be running a dedicated realserver.
OK
Thanks Joe
