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

exists right next door carrying thousands of cars. (Ok, cheesy

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!
If this is happening in your computer room, you have bigger issues to
worry about than crash carts ...
just saying ... :)
