I'll echo what *A. Khattri* said. I run one server, it functions as a |
2 |
router, web, ftp, LAN portage mirror (thanks http-replicator!), DNS proxy |
3 |
(dnsmasq), pop3(ssl), imap(ssl), smtp, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and VNC server, in |
4 |
addition to Xorg. Runs just fine. But it's also an Athlon XP 2400+ (2ghz, |
5 |
133 mhz fsb * 15 multiplier), 1gb of RAM (PC2100 DDR), and an old, faulty |
6 |
40gb hard drive (faulty in the respect that it reports the speed as UDMA44 |
7 |
to the BIOS, when in fact there is no such standard and it should be UDMA66, |
8 |
but that's easily fixed with hdparm). The real bottleneck on my server is my |
9 |
cable modem, with only 384kbps upstream (4mbps downstream though). |
10 |
|
11 |
But I digress. As long as the server can handle it, there shouldn't be any |
12 |
problems, and in some cases, it might turn out better, and the programs can |
13 |
then use sockets instead of ports to communicate with each other (which |
14 |
would be the case of a web server with a seperate database server). |
