Sure.

AFAICS the only visible difference is gc_thresh, which is probably
double the size on oni since oni has double the amount of memory
(512MB for oni vs. 256MB for ari).

Host oni:

# ip route ls output:
217.172.187.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 217.172.187.75 
default via 217.172.187.1 dev eth0
