No problem; we've got a nice little Xen box sitting next to my desk for
just this eventuality. (You know I'll do whatever is necessary to
scrounge server resources for this kind of thing.)

Regarding the accessibility of root - I'm fine with handing out Xen
instances to trusted parties (modulo agreement from our sysadmins) - but
it would be good to find a way to render such machines capable of less
network havoc; perhaps with a set of restrictive traffic filters?
