I did ask about that at the time - but it wasn't apparently viable (or 
easy? - it was a while back!)... It'd be a handy stopgap if it can be done. 
You suddenly realise how handy migration / motion is - when you can't have 
it!

Our current solution is to have a separate 'HVM' only pool - where all the 
routing, vpn'ing, firewalling and dhcp FreeBSD VM's hang out. Even with 
just that workaround we could get rid of that pool, and get our agility 
back for those VM's...
