Hi All, Currently, we've got a production AS/400 (9406-720) that we're also using as our web server (running Domino). Our web team has been discussing getting a second box of some sort to put outside the firewall, to act as a sort of "public" server -- it would handle our internet site and pass any requests for more secure information back through the firewall. The team has been assuming that it wouldn't make much difference what kind of box this second server is (they've been leaning towards "N---T---"), but recently the question was raised as to whether there might be particular advantages to using a small AS/400 (oops, I mean iSeries eServer). I figure this list would recommend this idea -- my question is, what sorts of arguments would you use to convince an AS/400-agnostic that this would be a good choice? Also, would anyone have any general recommendations for what size/features would be appropriate?
