I'm not clear on what you mean, either. Is this supposed to be a
load-balancing cluster? If so, and you expect that kind of load, I,
personally, would *never* put a VM on them - I'd want the full resources
of the o/s brought to bear on that load, and use multiple real hardware
for the other members. Doing this with VMs is only multi-threading the
load, and adding more, with all the context switches.
