FYI, libvirt also now provides secure remote access, so it can be used
off-node from the box being managed. Access is either tunnelled over SSH,
or directly connected using TLS + x509 certificates.

  http://libvirt.org/remote.html

This would enable a single web service to manage multiple hosts securely.

I illustrated some very simple examples here, showing the same commands
talking to Xen, and KVM/QEMU both locally and remotely over SSH, or TLS.
