Thread-topic:	[Xen-users] Should applications be running on Dom0

I hear this often, but I have yet to hear a satisfactory and technical explanation as to why. I’m not sure I agree that it is true.

Why is this the case?

Depends on what your Xen setup is being used for.

If it's strictly lab/testing/internal things, then it really doesn't matter

If you're hosting stuff to the outside world, then the only thing that should be running on the Dom0 (apart from the Xen Guests), is iptables to firewall the guests.

Or should Dom0 be lightweight with guest o/s's be doing that?
