Providers that support nested virtualiztion? (Running KVM/HVM)

Are any providers offering nested visualization, i need to test some things with KVM and rather than getting a dedicated box (Or shutting one of our own nodes down to enable it) for a few days of testing i would much rather get a VPS, preferably cloud with on-demand billing.
Any ideas appreciated

If you want a cloud service, get OXEO(http://oxeo.com). Please if you are buying mention [email protected] referred you.
I do. still have one online in my OVH node (installing proxmox just for playing around). Just pm me, you can reinstall it but you must use routed/NATed network.
Thank you for the offer but this is the reason i didn't get a Kimsufi/OVH/Hetzner. The software im using doesn't support NAT
I wonder if Rackspace supports it, they don't mention what virtualization they use etc.
Rackspace is Xen PV AFAIK
Bahh
yep
well you can wait till this weekend (or monday perhaps) my LA node will come with nested kvm too. 
@GetKVM_Ash If you need a dedicated server for a few days, we can help you out.
I can do you a PoundHost Hyper-V cloud server running Linux. PM me with your spec and budget if you want and we can work out a deal.
@qps
That would be great. I don't need anything overkill just a couple of 500gb drives and 4gb + RAM for a week or something.
I will need a couple of reinstalls though so a KVM with virtual media would be great if you don't want me hassling you
Do these support nested virtualization?
We support nested virtualization as well. Check out http://www.phoenixvps.com
Any nice offers for me? Drop me a PM
How long will you need the VM?
I like their site. I'm not sure how I feel about the price for a Core2Duo but it seems fast, so I assume I shouldn't worry about such things. Perhaps it's simply the virtualization telling me it's a Core2Duo.
A week maybe, maybe less.
Is 1 core (e3-1240v2), 4gb ram, 200gb disk (SW raid10, WD RE4s) and 5 IPs enough?
That sounds perfect
long enough so the ipv6/129 dont stick to his name
Is the VM I provided working for what you need to test?
Sure is, thank you
