Just the fact that we mix customers in a virtual environment creates a
similar risk. We aren't able to offer a dedicated host for every
customer who wants a virtual environment, that would defeat the purpose
of virtualization.

Maybe I missed part of the earlier discussion, and I'm always ready to
look at other ways of approaching the problem. Other than dedicated
hosts for each customer, what would you suggest a basic design be to
provide what you are describing?
