That's what I'm currently doing but I always have to ask myself: is this
feature in the RHEL kernel or not and how mature is it in comparison to
the kernel that I'm currently using (2.6.17.9).  I actually didn't even
think of the idea until I ran into a case where I needed kernel support
for the setup to work (related to load balancing) and when I ran across
a bunch of OpenVZ kernels targetted specifically at people wanting to
test RHEL v4 kernels under OpenVZ.
