Centeos/Xen PVM and cpanel

I am interested in using cpanel on a VM server. I have a new Centos 5.5 server running Xen 3.

Are there any issues I should look for?
Is this a supported configuration?
The installation went well. I created a PVM running a bare install of Centos 5.5. I have allocated 1 cpu, 2G ram and 100G LMV for drive space. The server seems to running great.

I plan to host for a couple of non-profits as well as my own business/company sites with static IPs for each site.

I look forward to the reply.

I was reading that Nat can be an issue. Is that still an issue. My original test build put the host server in the DMZ and used a static nat to the public address. I didn't have a problem with the license.

What about placing a NetScaler or other load balancer in front of the Virtual host? Is that workable scenario?

Thanks

I would agree with you completely about hosting servers outside data centers for the average person. Fortunately, I build data centers networks for a living, on the day job, its the server side that I am weak on.

I've built out a data center, small scale, at my manufacturing site. We typically place all servers in a DMZ behind load balancers and firewalls, this would include our VM and cloud hosting environments. I can do the same at the data center I have built for my use. I just hate to hang a server out solely behind a packet filter.

I built out a publicly addressed DMZ last night behind a firewall. That will resolve the issue with NATing. I will still be able to inspect packets and build ACLs for security.

Thanks
