I know Glenn,

At my last job we were setting up Help Desk software. This was 6 years
ago. Running Windows NT Server. There were two key modules in this Help
Desk product and they insisted that they needed to be on 2 different
servers. And then we get some other packages and they insist on there
own servers too. 

We had two AS/400's at that time, a 530 which was the main production
box and a 510 that we were playing around with (having inherited it from
another division in the company that we had taken over). Running BPCS
with all it's "Alliance Partner" products, S2K and other stuff.

Based on the earlier logic, we should have had AT LEAST 7 production
AS/400's...

 Chuck, it is  very real.  Typically  a server does only one function or

gets confused and does the MS patented Blue Screen of death.

Simple to understand one machine  one function . cost  scale-ability, 
reliability  well another issue.
