Actually, now I'm curious.  I'm reading about OpenVZ (single-kernel
solution) and UML/Xen (multikernel).

What are the problems with running multiple servers, assuming I
compiled multiple copies of OpenAFS (with different --prefix=
configure arguments) and somehow managed to get each one to think that
the machine only had one network interface (and each copy saw a
different interface)?

I wouldn't be trying to run the OpenAFS client on such a machine.
