Mike, et all,

As an aside, it always baffles me how PC server technology or at least
application designed to run thereon, in their current form, ever got to
be something businesses would take seriously as a mission critical
environment with most vendors requiring an EXCLUSIVE server for their
application.    One application per server!!!   How early man!!    

When was the last time you ever saw a real computer, i.e., mainframe or
midrange (iSeries for instance) require only one application per
server???   Maybe around the late 1950's or early 1960's.   That should
show the world how primitive are PC applications, except for their GUI. 
Certainly not something to 'bet the farm on".     

Take care,

Dave

Mike as others have said, it depends how the vendors app is
configured.

Running on seperate websphere instances is certainly the cleanest way
to do
it, less chance of accidentally knocking out the production systems!
