Re: [DISCUSS] running sVM and VR as HVM on XenServer

dom0 already has a DHCP server listening for requests on internal management networks. I'd be wary trying to manage it from an external service like cloudstack lest it get reset upon XenServer patch. This alone makes me favor option #2. I also think option #2 simplifies network design for users.
