I'm running this architecture on my QNAP TS119 NAS (FreedomBox
edition ;-) since April. The TS119 has a Marvell 6281 1.2GHz (Kirkwood)
processor and 512 MB DDR2 RAM. 

At the moment i am using 5 LXC containers. One container acts like a
gateway/bastion host. It houses Nginx as a reverse proxy and routes SSH.
4 containers are used for Wordpress blogs.

The system is running very stable since April. Memory consumption is
about 200 MB and i like the performance. Here are some details:
