[Lxc-users] possible to create/run lxc containers inside an lxc container?

[Jesse Andrews]

developing openstack support for lxc within lxc containers.  Right now
I launch KVM instances for my simulated hosts and then can create LXC
servers via openstack.

I'd like to be able to use LXC to build my openstack hosts (right now
if I use LXC I'm forced to use QEMU for openstack servers) so that I
get the easy of development/debugging & performance
