[Openstack] Separation of IRC Channels

Ewan (and team), When we spoke on the phone last week, you mentioned that Citrix was going down the path of using a Utility VM to run Nova in. I've been kicking around the ideas of using both and I wanted to run some of the Pros and Cons I came up with to maybe get your viewpoints on it. Nova Co
