Imho, this could only work for some services. But for the core we need 
hardware which is fully controlled by CAcert. Once we have this done, we 
can plug in other locations.
For later: Are the virtualisation techniques Sonance uses documented 
somewhere?

Yes, this is a step we need to consider. But to do this we first need 
more hardware to set this all up and test it, before the number can be 
reduced.

TLS/SNI is not that important for CAcert by now since I guess we have 
enough IP addresses available and maybe could even get more if we have a 
good reason for it. TLS/SNI would be no argument for rejecting ip space 
requests for now.
We have 30 usable IP addresses, but I do not know how many of them are 
being used - missing an overview on the wiki about this.
