Ok... Suppose that I have several racks of boxes doing stuff.
And as we know what various virtual servers load's will vary
dramatically. So some systems are going to develop hot spots.
IE, places where lots of the virtuals on those machines have started
to be active.
is there any easy way to redistribute servers from one box to another?
IE, if I have two vsd boxes, where one has a light load and the other
has a heavy load, is there a way to pick up and move a virtual to
a different box in a way that works?
