each VE has its own primary ip like any hardware box would. i can also assign 
multiple ips to virtuals as needed.

unless i specifically tell a VE to use only 1 or 2 processors, they all have 
use of all 4 as the host machine's kernel decides is best. since there is 
only the kernel on the host, it decides how the cpus are used by the virtuals 
unless like i said i specifically configure cpu usage/limits etc per virtual, 
which i have not had a need to do yet. if i should decide to adjust cpu usage 
on a particular virtual, i only have to do it on that one, i don't need to 
compensate with cpu configuration on all the others.
