I too run 2 copies in VMs on ESX and for the most part it works great, but =
I have problems with network traffic going from a one interface to another =
when the interfaces have different VLAN configurations. E.g. from a trunk i=
nterface to a non-trunked interface, Guest Tagging of VLAN packets,  UDP tr=
affic suffers greatly. No problems if both are trunk ports, or both are non=

Have not got round to testing the latest DL too see if it has the same issu=

This I didn't know. Good news, and not entirely surprising.

Perhaps that this can regularly be incorporated in DL...

I'd like to see that, too. At least with v1.3.

Not only seems, but it really is. I've been doing it 2+ years on several
ESX Servers without any problems.

I am not sure how many

These are my experiences, too.
Due to that, I always create one DL VM for a certain purpose.
One for OpenVPN, one for mail filtering, one for DNS, one for firewall,
etc. I run VMs like applications or services.

Rather cool :-)
