Yes, sorry for the confusion!!! :)

Well, it's a full commercial hosting solution, we have hundreds of
customers using it, so of course it supports what you are asking for,
and it's a fully automated solution.

That's the goal yes! Each "virtual admin" user can:
- set the RDNS
- do xm stop / xm start / xm shutdown / on his VPS (and his VPS only)
- do fsck.ext3 -f -y for his partition (if his VPS is shutdown)
- reinstall his OS (if his VPS is shutdown), many OS supported either
through network setup (yum install or debootstrap) or using images.
- see his network, I/O and CPU usage in realtime
- see the above, and all the other VPSes on the node (very useful if one
customer is abusing and the others want to know)
- Do "xm console" by simply doing ssh xenXX@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (so this
ssh pass can be changed using DTC, or a ssh key can be used to...)
- Set the CD to boot on, and manage the VNC console (HVM guests only)
- Select to use the NetBSD or NetBSD-INSTALL kernel (NetBSD guests only)
- renew his VPS for the period(s) defined in the hosting package

Each admin can have one or more VPS.

Note that dtc-xen is NOT an interface, just a SOAP service over HTTPS
with auth, on which DTC connects to give orders to or to collect data
from your dom0.
