My pro-iSeries comments only pertain to protected applications and data.  In
my opinion, using any other platform for public, static, unprotected content
is fine!

I do argue AGAINST two (2) separate boxes for hosting protected
applications.  I believe that design generally introduces security
vulnerabilities as well as performance problems.

Using a separate box to filter undesirable traffic is great!  They call it a
firewall!  Using a DMZ to separate an iSeries server from direct public
access is great!  Placing the iSeries server behind a DMZ in a trusted LAN
is great!

Developing a home-grown security interface between the HTTP Server and
applications is great!  That interface can be done on a single box!
