if you give the proper capabilities to a guest, it can
do almost everything the host can do, but usually this
goes with a price (lower security)
active/passive failover scenarios are best implemented
on the host, which can in turn start/stop/redirect
guests when needded (inside a guest it doesn't make
too much sense to act on fail/switchovers with network
changes)

failover scenarios are successfully implemented with
Linux-VServer, but not in the way you descibe it

they are proof of concept patches and not really
suited for production (not speaking of HA :)
