Well, bully for them. ;)

I can't see anything in particular, other than the regular "running in VMWare"
things you need to take care of, and they seem to work from the sound of it.

OpenVZ looks pretty much identical to a regular Linux kernel from the outside,
and behaves that way too, so it should work.

We certainly run OpenVZ inside KVM virtual machines with absolutely no problem
here, other than the usual need to care about I/O performance inside the
virtual environment not cutting too much out of the inner system.
