I can see another extension to this functionality. With appropriate
changes it might also be possible to have a container exist across
multiple computers using some cluster code for synchronization and
fencing. The outermost container would be the system boot container,
and multiple inner containers would use some sort of network-
container-aware cluster filesystem to spread multiple vservers across
multiple servers, distributing CPU and network load appropriately.
