The disk can be set to immutable, is easily backed-up/restored, but
mainly it's very easy to provide auto-recovery with a virtual machine,
and start it somewhere else if the primary server fails.
Quoting Kerry Mayes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I use an ipcop vm to manage my normal vms access to the physical
network but that's quite different to the use I think you are
suggesting. If the underlying box is "bare as possible" why aren't
you running the firewall natively? (i.e. what would be the advantage
of virtualisation for this application?)

Interested in any security issues that may have been encountered etc.
