You can even do this partitioning even when you share a single ip.
What you do is that you use a reverseproxy in apache, and run that
server on the real ip, then you just "get" the files from the customers
server, which could use a 10.x.y.z ip. You can even run the reverse
proxy
apache inside a vserver.

I'm using ext3 anywhere i can get to it. At home i have my vserver
running
on ext3, but i dont do unification. At work i have trouble with a
reiserfs
filesystem, but not my ext3 filesystems. Work is not yet running in a
vserver.

Yeah, i like them as well, though i would like to have their hotswap hd
