XEN + Ultramonkey (in a DomU)

Thinking I might want to get two massive boxes (8-Core 32GB RAM) and run Ultramonkey in two smallish XEN VMs (one on each physical host). They would perform loadbalancing duties for other XEN VMs on the two XEN nodes.

Is this doable?

Thanks,
Brian

 

Yes, no problem. But AFAIK, there's no Ultramonkey version for Etch, so you might want to try one of these solutions:

Etch isn't mandatory. What are the preferred distros for running Ultramonkey?

Thanks,

Debian Sarge which is the predecessor of Etch...
