Dave,

Here's what we're doing (I hope I'm being clear when I explain this)

We basically have two domino servers on two different 400's (we have a
third on an NT box, but that shouldn't come into play here, we only use it
for Domino.Doc)

The Domino server on the 170 is connected to the internet, and it does HTTP
serving, routes incoming mail from the internet to our 650 (where the
users' mail files are) and routes outgoing mail from the 650 to the
internet.  We are serving static HTML pages, Domino web apps (some are just
forms for collecting information and others contain content stored in Rich
Text format that is created by our departments) and Net.Data CGI programs.
When we were on 4.6.3, the 170 handled all of this pretty admirably, but
since we moved to R5 things have slowed considerably.

The Domino server on the 650 is connected to the 170 via our internal
TCP/IP network (it is not accessible from the internet [I hope]).  It
handles our internal mail, takes incoming mail from the 170 and routes it
to the appropriate user and sends outgoing mail to the 170 to be sent to
the internet.

To make matters more interesting, we could not get Domino's native SMTP on
the 170 to successfully send mail to and receive mail from the internet, so
we are still using the native 400 SMTP on the 170 to receive mail from and
hand mail off to Domino SMTP on the 170.  Confused yet?

What we're thinking about doing is not using the 170 for mail at all.  It
would just handle webserving.  Another box would just handle sending mail
to and receiving mail from the internet.

If you have any mail that will need to move through that Domino server to
another Domino server (whether mail files exist or not), you will need to
keep the router task running.  Although you didn't say it, most likely you
are doing SMTP mail routing which in R5 is also handled by the router task.
Moving the SMTP routing to a different Domino server should help alleviate
the CPU percentage.

Another possible impact is the amount of memory on the 170 and whether or
not you run other applications on it.  You did mention that you are serving
a web site from the same server.  The HTTP task on Domino also uses a lot
of resources.  Just from past experience, R5 does use more resources than
R4 did.  Hope this helps...
