Actually the other magic bit in there was about OpenVZ. I migrated the entirety of my mail servers and web servers to a single host running Owl some time back (which was also actually a linux KVM host!), and found the entire experience to be far easier than expected. In essence, I installed Owl, and then installed other linux distro's to provide services I needed, for example it's extremely trivial (as in 5 minutes work) to deploy an Ubuntu or Debian host, apt-get update and apt-get install postfix, follow a guide on the t'interwebs for configuring mail under debian or ubuntu, and restart the VZ guest to get it all up and running. I wrote some bits about how to get mail up and running under Owl, under a debian guest, with a single IP address assigned to the host here https://kaizo.org/simonb/openvz+ipv6.php and here https://kaizo.org/simonb/postfix.html - just ignore the IPv6 stuff :-) Please feel free to ask more detailed questions to the list, I'm certain someone will help!
