With the VMWare Player you won't even need multiple copies of GSX to do what
you are proposing.

We looked at VMware ESX and the major stumbling block was cost.  However we
were looking at buying GSX and putting it on every server with a single VM
on it just to maximize our flexibility.  If a particular physical server
died we could easily move the dsk file to another server.  Also we could get
one copy of ESX for DR and easily port multiple GSX dsk files to the ESX
server if need be.

 

We never got the project off the ground but we are still thinking about it.
