I'm interested and I would like to test it out. I haven't had a
chance to check it out yet. I've found that ESX doesn't support ip
append 2 and that makes it difficult to do the scripted installs if
the first interface isn't the one being used to do the install. I
think VMware is moving away from ESX and the service console. I've
heard that I'm not 100% sure... I'm also interested in seeing how
this might integrate with the python tftp daemon and fetchable files
rather than using triggers. I haven't looked at this yet though but I
will shortly.
Have you spent any time looking at using koan to create the vmware
guests or if it makes sense to add additional fields to Cobbler for
VMware specific data?

Anyone had a chance to look at this? Is there any interest in it at all?
I know we've had people ask on the list before for ESXi support, so just
curious and following up.
