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? I hope our dev server is up and living soon again.
best, a.

Hello,
in openvz usuall all ebtables and iptables modules are supported in the 0 instance. modules that can be used inside of virtuall instances have to be prepared for this. but this shouldn't be a problem for your setup, so i guess the problem may be somewhere else.
As fare as I remember there have been some promlems with the development versions of openVZ. With the stable version for kernel 2.6.18 everything worked fine. Except, the ebtables module oopsed when applying more than 25 rules !! Because I wanted to configure virtual networks with up to 100 nodes this was a problem. The mentioned patch solved this problem.
