Yeah, But Jail offers no real segmentation of resource utilization and certainly no simple management interface to hand to customers. At least not back in 2006 when I was using them on a 4.x system, where none of the jails survived a simple upgrade (from like 4.9 to 4.10 or something I don't remember). A great tool for testing and such, but I just didn't find it could do what I needed (real resource segmentation and control). How's virtualbox coming along? Does it have FreeBSD host support yet? Anyone using it in production?

Thats a loaded question. Some might say that Freebsd has been a leading in virtualization ( jail(8) for example). Support for Zen Dom0 is coming along nicely it seems. If you want VMware hosting support, not really sure what to say there. VMware server is a linux kernel.. starting to get into the middle of linux land if you go down the VMware route.
