Hi,

I am taking my first steps towards virtualization.

I have 3 Gateway Servers; all on CentOS 5.3 (non-graphical mode) + Squid.

We have 3 separate teams each of 5-7 users who use 1 ISP each via
their own Gateway server.

I am keen to use virtualization and consolidate all 3 servers on a
single server.

I plan to install ZEN on a Pentium Core2Duo with 2GB RAM & 1 nic.
Then create 3 virtual servers and install Cents OS 5.3 (text mode) &
setup Squid etc.

Does ZEN support the following 2 features:

   1. Sharing of a single physical NIC by multiple guest OSes with
individual IPs and Gateways.
      Example:
      Guest-1: ip=192.168.1.10, g/w=192.168.1.1
      Guest-2: ip=192.168.1.11, g/w=192.168.1.2
      and so on.....

   2. Easy backup & portability of guest OSes.
      Example-1: Easily copy Guest-1 backup from one ZEN server to
another ZEN server in case of h/w failure
      Example-2: Easily backup Guest-1 backup to DVD or portable disk.


I appreciate any help to get myself started.

Thx
Sanjay
