I am successfully running asterisk in a virtualised environment - sort of, 
it's LXC - one kernel, multiple containers. MeetMe demos worked OK, 
although none of the current instances use it in anger. I have full 
control over the host servers, so I can balance the number of instances 
over physical servers better than just picking random server...
