Lots of views on this posting, but it seems nobody knows the status of OpenVZ in regards to whether putting clients inside an OpenVZ container offers any protection against a hacker actually getting root access to the host node?

Why am I asking this? Well, it's a lot easier to rebuild a container than it is to completely reinstall a machine that has been hacked. But, am I fooling myself that by putting customers inside a container that I'm reducing the chances of a hacker actually getting access to the physical machine?
