That's a good idea, except it'll take a fair bit of setup I imagine. Can
we just copy svr2 over a copy of the template and bring that up as
wwwmaster2 for testing? I don't think we need to worry about cleanly
installing the VM at this stage, just eliminating the unionfs.

Gavin - any chance we can temporarily get an additional IP address if
that's a possibility?
