While I respect the concerns expressed by the community so far, I don't think 
these outweigh the advantages seen by our experts.  I don't think "virtual 
host server" is more complicated than the other server terms we use 
regularly.  Virtual machine is definitely easier than what we've used in the 
past.  Although it sounds a bit wordy at first, "management virtual machine" 
does make sense and has a good meaning.

So as soon as my schedule permits, I will add these terms to the style guide.  

Marcus, in the future, the project would appreciate it if you let us know 
earlier in the process so we could be more involved in the discussion.
