I like the shared socket approach. Building a separate IPMI network

exists right next door carrying thousands of cars. (Ok, cheesy
analogy!)
Yes, but the tiny road is still useable by the emergency services when
there's been a pileup on the main cariageway, and there are wreckage
and bodies everywhere!
