Hi all.
I was reading one of the workstation topics recently, and realized that I'm not using my lab alot right now. It's pretty powerful, and takes some space in my tiny apartment.
And I know that some of the people have huge labs at home, with some resources available.
Did anyone though of creating nested lab? Replace each physical host with ESXi VM, and establish RA/IPSEC connection. How is that different from Amazon/Google/etc? I don't expect 100% availability, and performance all the time: Older hardware, some bandwidth and storage. Basically, cheap-ass version of cloud for lab needs.
Do you think it's a good idea, or better keep it separate?
