Interesting!  I didn't know CentOS was able to do that, I'd only seen
discussions about how that sort of thing might be done in Linux, without
a reference to something that actually did it.

Is the feature standard, or requires special treatment?  I'm getting
close to setting up a new box with CentOS for the main server, and
wouldn't mind being able to do that.
