For about a year+ now, I've been virtualizing pfSense with VirtualBox. pfSense has the run of a quad port NIC I have in my "VM host." All ports are bridged to pfSense and it works like a champ. Port 1 links to my upstream, port 2 goes to my LAN switch fabric, port 3 will be used for an isolated unsecure VM/guest network, and port 4 is a spare. The biggest downside to this setup is having my router be a virtualized guest, but I've only had one major issue when I needed to upgrade the kernel on the host OS. I guess there's always the fear of a VM escape, but I don't see this as any different from someone owning pfSense itself.
What are you all virtualizing that you normally wouldn't?
