Yes, i can imagine that with such hardware, hosting 20 machines is a piece
of cake. Still, the possibility of one guest pulling all resources to
itself, exists. And ESX doesn't have a quota/limit feature to deal with
these problems, which is why i can't recommend putting LVS on VMware.
The bonded NICs help :)
