Found quite a few posts on
various
forums of people complaining that RDP with external auth doesn't work (or
not reliably),
Actually, it does work, and it works reliably, but the setup is very much not
straightforward.
What was wrong with the suggestion to use VMWare ESXi and Nexenta or
OpenIndiana to do this?
Sorry I don't know which specific post you refer to? I am already running
ESXi with OI on top and serving back to the other guests. Ned made a good

1/3-1/2 the speed of the other way. If you're saying you use 10gig or

wait my brain caught up with my fingers :) the guest is running on the
same host, so there is no virtual switch in this setup. i'm still going

Dan,
If you are going to do the all in one with vbox, you probably want to look
at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vboxsvc/
It manages the starting/stopping of vbox vms via smf.
Kudos to Jim Klimov for creating and maintaining it.
