Actually, I did not think on different IP ranges... :) I just thought to set 
them on different IPs withing the same range... What will I get having 
different ranges?

Logically, it is correct. But I guess practically, it will never happen.

Can I ask here, if here are the people who had experienced kernel bug security 
that from their guest (vserver) crack affected home OS?

I'm speaking about networked guests - will their interfaces will not be mixed 
up? Or will I ever have the same ifaces names for the guests?

Ok, web/email/ftp remain.

Well. With KVM I guess will be a problem w/ a output device - as it will run in 
console though...

Here I was speaking about vserver.
