That works also.   one issue we would face is storing the xen guest images. 
that will get big fast.  But i do really like the idea.  we could do 
something to help us manage bottlenecks also.  bring up an app server image  
when needed and some quick configuration we have a new app server. or proxy  
or any of our other services.
