I think there's more to it than that. Right now, even in HA, wherever the user is created is where their VM box is. So there are some dependencies on the sole fact that if the server has VM, then that is where the user needs to check it. So it is more than an asynchronous replication, but also digest and authentication mechanisms.
Some people was VM as a HA system, I think it might be better to make it truly clustered so there is something to take it's IP and hostname, etc. if the heartbeat goes away, but that's another thing altogether.
