Hey Pete/Craig, and anyone else who's replied!!
Thanks for your comments, really appreciate them. There was no reason to keep the individual replies offlist, just didn't want to have off-topic subthreads that others might not be interested in on the list.
However, it might be good to post updates of the process as I go forth, just to give others the information in case they might want to chime in, or do something similar.
So, I'll keep you posted. got some more reading to do!
Thanks all!!

Thanks Pete.
And good to know that Rackspace has a few good/solid guys!
As to my test, basically, setting up a 'scalable' test, to be able to run crawlers/applications. The idea is to have a bunch (400-500) apps that are long running, and need to be tested. I'm thinking of having a process that would allow a 'master' to be able to iterate through the apps, and spin out a number of droplets/cloud instances to run/track the apps.
To get there, I need to be able to set up an initial env, that's got security/dns/nfs. Once I get there, the process can more or less be tested.
So, for now, not looking for continuing support, just looking to make sure I don't screw anything up too badly in setting the test up!
Thanks
I can give you some general pointers, but it's not something you can reasonably expect to accomplish without learning a whole lot about devops. Even the base setup you are talking about starting with is not appropriate for the solution you want.
Is there a reason to keep this off-list?
