Console on both VGA/Keyboard and IPMI



Is there any way to have the console (more precisely: the thing where panic 
messages go and where DDB operates on) both on VGA/Physical Keyboard (for 
on-site access) and something like IPMI SOL (for off-site access)?

As far as I understand, I can have the IPMI BMC hijack the serial port, but 
I prefer to have my console on VGA (because I can switch off the monitor and 
still see one screenfull of messages as soon as I turn it on).

I guess I can view the VGA framebuffer with a graphical WEB browser connected 
to the IPMI port but would prefer a more sensible approach.
