Makes sense. The existing testsuite/domain module could be moved into 
here. It's essentially testing management of a domain via the java api.

IMO management tests of standalone servers should be segregated from 
tests of a managed domain.

The testsuite/clustering module is for this purpose.

I regard that as a nice to have, not a requirement. HA functionality is 
orthogonal to how the servers are managed; a testsuite of Paul's HA 
features based on launching multiple standalone servers is ok. The 
actual HA services inside the servers have no clue whether they are 
running in a standalone server or a managed domain.

Note also that ARQ with DC support is not needed for management tests of 
domain.

Hopefully in 95%+ of cases "prepare servers" can consist of altering the 
server/domain launch command to point at the appropriate writable 
directory, config file and module path.
