Thanks to all those who replied and confirmed my initial fears :)
Chris, vserver appears to be ideal. I've just finished compiling a
vserver patched kernel and I've got a 32-bit Debian install up and
running. It was surprisingly easy. The migration should be nice and easy
as I can just copy the Apache configs to /etc/vservers/<name>/vdir/etc
on the host.

David.
