Definitely..
But I save those details for my late night Self Help/How-To series on PBS...

Seriously.. You're absolutely right if you're building a large application
using multiple technologies (CF, Java, COM, etc..). you will probably need
to divide up your functional team into the different types of developers.
But I'm betting most web apps pick one technology and build it in that
technology, with maybe one or two small pieces of other technologies.. Then
you bring in the right kind of developer for that single piece, or maybe buy
it... At least that's what I've noticed.
As for Network Administrators and dba's. You need them! But they usually end
up in their own groups (look to your local IS department) that all of the
development teams utilize as needed.. Since they are usually only involved
on any single project for short periods of time.
As for having senior and junior members, you will have/need them but be
careful not to make one team to big, compared to the other two, or to have
to big gap between skill sets, otherwise the senior developers will end up
having to do almost all of the work, plus find time to teach the more junior
developers. And under a deadline this can cause a lot of stress.. That's why
I recommend starting Junior developers in group 3, hopefully they won't stay
there long. And you can get an idea of how they might work with your more
seasoned developers without causing lot's of stress.. But then again this
all really depends on your teams dynamics/personalities..
But this is just my simple opinion,

Mike,
Don't you think you could take things a bit further? I feel that any
successful project requires a distinct separation of duties on the
"functional" side of things: middleware coders, dba's, network
architects/administrators, object/component developers. Not to mention
that each of those groups will probably be further split by experience
level (senior, junior, etc.), in which there is more difference than
just pay :)
