This is not really zero downtime -- it is zero downtime from the user's point of view, since user does not see it as a downtime. I guess the delay in processing is a few seconds (non-shared storage scenario). We are improving this time.

That's not too bad; so you're saying you depend upon the application (Samba, Apache, MySQL, PostgreSQL, NFS, etc.) to handle the brief hang without killing the connection? I know Samba and NFS can deal with this and I suppose the rest are OK...
I'm almost certain to choose OpenVZ, it looks like a great project.
R U good enough?
