Re: [Xen-users] To Xen or not to Xen

Frank,

I'd say use Xen and create a guest for each core. I'm not sure what  
kind of web serving you're doing (dynamic or otherwise), but it would  
take a lot to fill up ONE Opteron, much less two. You'll max out the  
bandwidth first.
With this in mind, I'd suggest creating the following domUs:

one guest, dynamically generate a cache of static pages (assign two  
cores)
two guests, each serving those static web pages, setup in round robin  
fashion via DNS (one core each)
