<wishful thinking>I can see another extension to this functionality. With appropriate changes it might also be possible to have a container exist across multiple computers using some cluster code for synchronization and fencing. The outermost container would be the system boot container, and multiple inner containers would use some sort of network- container-aware cluster filesystem to spread multiple vservers across multiple servers, distributing CPU and network load appropriately.</wishful thinking>
Yeah. If you fudged/virtualised /dev/random, the system clock, etc you could even have Tandem-style transparent High Availability. </more wishful thinking> Actually there is relatively little difference between a NUMA system and a cluster...
