Sounds like fun :) I'm just horrible at CS.
Ideally we should allow total VM control - something that runs a total new OS. That way if for instance someone wants to run something important that is restricted to only one operating system, we can easily run it. The problem comes when you have multiple people with webservers - the server would have to map different target addresses to different virtual machines. Not too hard, and could possibly be done routerside.
