Would I be crazy to use one physical box to run a few internal Xen

domU could slow the domU on the LAN side down to a crawl, is there
anything else that I should be concerned about?
I have a small home office, and want to consolidate my three servers to
two. Besides saving some electricity, the box in the DMZ is old and
slow - the one I want to consolidate to is _much_ better. The better
server is already running Xen and a few domU, actually.
Has anyone done this? A little part of me says it would be fool hardy,
but I can be convinced otherwise!
Does anyone have an opinion on this? I'm still wondering if it's wise
to use one Xen box for domUs in a DMZ and domUs in a trusted network.
Thanks,
