Just yesterday I had a brief talk with Herbert from vserver. He mentioned that it should be ok to use different routing tables in each vserver instance. If this works out then I would like to know if vserver is a viable alternative. Vserver is very low overhead. One of the problems that I had with UML is the high (soft-)IRQ load. this produces permanent context switches and no work gets done. (if you start 1000 instances that is!) :)
Can somebody test what happens if you start many instances in openVZ and vserver?
Many = which number?
I have started 10 of those, and it works fine on a 1500Mhz machine with 512MB of RAM on a livecd system with minimal debian filesystems on a harddisk.
