We have been doing some test.
To avoid single point of failure (as musch as possible) we had mysql,
ldap and asterisk14 and asterisk16 in separate virtual machines. No
problem what so ever. DOM-u's are easy to scale up, considering mem or
cpu.
Would suggest to have either channel-banks/ata's or PRI-boards in a
separate machine(s). never got the pci forwarding from a hypervisor to a
dom-U properly working
