Yup agree and acknowledge that you wouldn't endorse or offer to support it,
and nor should you. Simply trying to pick your (and anyone else who wants
to chime in) brain on the topic. Totally PoC'ing it at my own risk :)

So, in that spirit, just one last message about it. Just like sharing the
experience with OpenVZ, let's just say that I am insane and I still want to
try it in a private cloud. Would you say the resource consumption of FS
(assuming it's just receiving the call, having it routed by a custom
routing engine via ESL, and switching it) be more than that in the "real"
world for the same call volume barring any clock sync/skew/jitter issues?
Would something like Cloudstack on hardware (like the one you recommended
earlier) with a FS VM with 12 vcpu cores, 24GB RAM and DAS be able to
handle something like 300-400 concurrent calls or am I out of my mind?

Thx
