Hey nycbugers,
	I've been kicking around some ideas regarding jailing
in an "enterprise" environment.  While jails do have the obvious
benefit of added security; one thing that interests me are the 
possibilities of using jails to assist with server and app.
management in distrubited envrionments.  The basic idea I am
thinking of is creating jails for specific applications that
get loaded to a farm of servers via PXE-TFTP.  One would netboot
a server, and then dist a jail to that system after boot.  Seems
simple enough...but what about performance.  Has anyone noticed
any significant performance bottlenecks w/in jails.  I would not
expect any, and have not seen any either.  But maybe there is 
something I'm missing?
