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

     Here's mine: Commercially selling raw CPU, RAM, and disk resources 
(in a data center) to resellers.  If they could use LXC (within my LXC 
to them) then they could add their own container-based services to their 
customers, as a VAR.


Thanks,
