How do you do that ? Do you use "vserver <vs> pkgmgmt externalize" after
building the guest, or is there a way to make it by default (I think I missed
something here) ?

This tool is not in the "util-vserver" commands. Perhaps that's why you don't
have any "/vservers/.pkg/<vs>" directory ?

This is the internal name of the vserver

Name of the alias on the interface (eth0:<name>)

Mandatory if you use context tagging for files, needed to set up disk limit
per vserver or quota per vserver (in case you are using a single partition
for hosting different vservers), otherwise simply recommended ?
