Virtualization, no matter what method you choose is a good way to go, also chrooting each server on a hardened (grsecurity/pax patched) kernel might work well also, due to the chroot jail protections within that. One jail per webapp. I do sympathize with the poster here on this, hope you are able to find a fitting solution.
