I've used UML before to isolate services. Ever tried breaking out of a
chroot jail? This is even better. Ever tried breaking a system where
the only thing available is a readonly root filesystem with a single
daemon and a few required utils? Gotta love UML :)

Subject: Re: [luau] INFO: Heavy duty storage needs
I'm glad someone liked my explanation :)
I recently built a nice dualie AMD 1.4GHz, 2GB DDR, with 2xU160 36GB
15kRPM hard drives. It's (among other things) a proxy server and
mailer. Proxying, especially when also doing mail, involves some
bandwidth (but not excessive, it's only a 1gbit uplink to the LAN), but
it also involves a lot of seeking. The tagged command queuing and
reduced seek times of the SCSI drives are a big advantage on this puppy.
Have you considered vserver for that machine? It would greatly enhance
security and flexibility... and I look forward to seeing what kind of neat
iptables tricks you can do with multiple vservers (and perhaps multiple IP
aliases).
