At some point, we hope to share our internal documentation on how to do this, e.g., we found we had to enable the loopback masking nflag and disable the Single IP Special Casing. We also hit the loginuid issue which is specific to the RedHat family of products.
I fully understand what vserver and Xen are (I wasn't actually talking about this 'xen' and Xenserver is superior to that version) neither of which is supported and you are actually using an unsupported kernel (it's not even supported by CentOS). I'm not saying it won't work but as I said earlier, it's an unsupported platform - use it at your own risk. I'll say it again, the comment 'email is critical' and using unsupported vserver and kernels don't seem to go together in my mind.
