[hobbit] 2 hobbit servers on the same hardware

[Phil Wild]

Yes, I agree but I am running Linux (CentOS) and have Xen loaded but am not
using it. The Solaris version using sparse zones, even though it is very
trim, still has overheads over and above just running another application.
In my instance, memory is very tight so two apps seems the most wise
approach.

Cheers

Phil
