How do YOU limit bandwidth and resources?

I am playing with a couple of different configurations for virtual linux servers, and am wondering if anyone has a really good way of limiting resource consumption.

In the simply case, I have 5 customers sharing a dedicated server. I want to make sure that all 5 customers get their fair share of the resources available at any given time. If the box is idle on 4 customer accounts, it's OK for the 5th to take all the resources available. If all are busy, than I would like for the resources to be shared equally.

Do any such resource balancing tools exist?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
