With a little perl scripting, it wouldn't be hard to write a load
balancer for Xen.  You would need to track the CPU utilization on each
dom0, and intelligently balance the domU's across them.  Maybe when I
get some free time in the next few weeks I'll do just that :)

these are my thoughts too, but never give up the hope ;-) I had several
talks with other people who looking for virtualization software and they
are although impress from vmware, but the price ... you can buy islands
from these money. So they looking for other software and Xen has nice
things too.
