For light use you could drop in VMware server or player or virtualbox
without much effect on the current system. It shouldn't be necessary,
though, unless you'd like to install otherwise conflicting rpm
packages or give root access to someone on the virtual server only.

So why can't you do that for your new virtualhost instead of running
on a different IP?
