Hi,<br>
<br>
I don't want multiple instances of Asterisk. My goal here is to make
Asterisk and its Zaptel hardware run nice on a machine that is not
dedicated and also hosts VM. I had lot's of problems with Xen, as the
host runs a modified kernel that has apparently issues with the
interrupt handling (at least).<br>
<br>
My question was more of what kind of hypervisor I should use for
Asterisk/Zaptel not to have problems like it has in Xen.<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">I actually want to use Asterisk in a machine HOSTING a VM (that's what I
implied with the Dom-0 thing I said earlier), sorry for the
misunderstanding. I agree with you that given the state of advancement
of just about any 'virtualizer', I would have to be totally stupid to
try running Asterisk inside a VM. (I also wouldn't have asked here in
the first place, as I would have been totally certain that problems came
from the virtualizer itself)

What kind of separation do you really need?
Xen, VMWare and such are "big cannons" here. Every virtual machine will
consume fixed ammount of memory. There is a considerable overhead for
hardware access.
It allows you things like running different OS/distribution on each
guest. But for some reason I'm not sure you really need that?
Will the users have direct acces to the dialplan and the rest of the
configuration? If not: just run a single instance of Asterisk.
If you do need multiple asterisk instances, verver or openvz might
help you to give a separate "container" for that user's personal usage.
Stephan has mentioned in this thread he set up several Asterisk-es on a
vserver system.
