*whew* I was starting to think I was the only one who'd ever considered running LFS (or a very close derivative) in production. James, if you automate your builds, I'd love to compare notes. You can see my work here: https://github.com/qrux/xlapp. It's an automated build for virtualization using Xen with LFS as the base system. It provides a few server "types" (DNS, smtp/imap, and a LAPP stack). The README is now pretty dated, but still paints the big picture.
