Xen users - Nov 2009 - Xen in Xen (EC2?)

Hi I am curious if anyone has tried to get a Xen hypervisor kernel and
dom0 booted on top of EC2, enabling you to virtualize your already
virtualized infrastructure? And if so what sort of issues you ran into
and if it was successful or not.  I''m also interested in hearing why
or why not this can or cannot be done :)

Thanks,
David

I don''t think that''s possible.

EC2 offers you paravirtualized guests; you cannot boot xen hypervisor as
a paravirtualized guest.
