perfect analysis and correct, dude (seems like Scott knows me, spooky)

i removed all except one (1) IP from the server's network configuration and the VE kicked into life with a network connection

thank you for your help

conclusion:

Open VZ is very easy to install and is an intuitive system which any experienced admin will quickly understand

the Wiki was missing nameserver setup and Scott corrected this, thanks

think about it, an admin does his preparation and installs the hardware and software and provisions the IP ranges. considering OpenVZ is a tool for public IP based VPS, the Wiki is also missing a VERY basic network instruction saying something to the effect:- "using OpenVZ on a networked server with unique public IPs for each VE requires nothing more than the initial configuration of the HN's IP and the assignment (usually by your host) of a range of IPs to the physical network address of the server. OpenVZ will take care of the networking configuration for each of the VEs and you must not configure the servers NIC for the range of IPs. adding additional IPs to an OpenVZ kernel is as simple as assigning them to the physical server address (usually done by your host) and immediately without further configuration the IPs are available for use in new VEs"

90% of the game for a n00b is guessing what you dont know. you are talking to the man who introduced stanton finley's guide to the FC community forum and mailing list. if we can shut as many of those unknown open doors facing the n00b as possible then is better for the software. i read 6 months or more of forum posts in my quest for an answer, i read ALL the documentation at least 3 times, i thank the guys for their offers of help and Scott especially for the final solution
