Re: Active Server Pages

[booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Let me ask the next question then.  Is that plan of distributing the work 
load a poor plan?  Does it increase operational problems like security and 
user profiles, or does it lessen them?  Are hardware costs more or do they 
just have smaller boxes and therefore more disk arms?   Is this really a 
matter of having your eggs in  several baskets vs. having all your eggs in 
one basket and watching that basket closely? 

I am an AS/400 bigot but that doesn't mean I have to be an AS/400 idiot. 
If distributing loads across a  multi-box architecture is a good plan, 
then why not do it with a bunch of AS/400 boxes?  For instance, why does 
anyone choose LPAR vs. some more boxes.

I always thought that too, until I recently went to work in an NT/AS400
shop that has some really competent network folks. NT works pretty well on
the whole. It's still not as bullet proof as the AS/400, but it's not too
shabby. About the only time a server goes down is when one of the remote
sites gets struck by lightning or some idiot starts sending love messages.

Sorry, I can't resist asking.  Is this one of those cases where the 
network
guys make sure the NT servers are not overburdened?  Web server on one 
box,
firewall on another, mail server on another, sql database on another?
