Is there any existing hardware that would be suitable for running a 2nd DC
in a VM? I ran 5-6 VM's (including a DC) in an Ubuntu/VMWare Server setup
before I moved to Xen, on a server that was low end 3 years ago. You'd
still have the licensing issue, but how many months of DNS hosting charges
will it take to surpass the one time license purchase?
