Which distro are you working with? If you are curious about Xen with FC5, I have jwberninger to thank for a thorough "beginners guide" to Xen: http://www.turnpike420.net/linux/Xen.txt All the networking seems really straight-forward to me. I'd like to note though, depending on your number of users and the pure power of your server, I'd be a little worried about I/O for email and database activity. Of course that's all relative to your purposes and also just my opinion as I'm still just a beginner with Xen myself. :) Good luck and have fun! I'll be doing some minor production virtualization with VMWare Server (no ESX yet...) hopefully within the next couple weeks.

Yes, it is a 3.something -- let me look if I can -- Xentop reports Xen 3.0.2-3, if we can believe that. There is a temporary failure with the domU kernel ( actually the initrd is missing ) from upstream, so I am using the dom0 kernel for both. I have been fighting this for a couple of weeks or more, and am finally seeing some interesting results. I do not seem to be able to use more than one "partition" for a domU, is that normal? I tried to separate /, /usr, /var, and /home, but nothing worked until I finally combined everything and used that. As I reported a couple of hours ago, I have been finally been able to get a domU to respond as a DNS server. I had another ( dummy ) domU running at the same time, so am feeling more confident about combining and replacine all of my existing ( or almost all ) servers -- mail, DNS, DHCP, HTTP(S), and possibly database.
