Thanks for all of the responses. Looks like I'll be doing what I always have done... keeping the db and the app server separate.

A hardware failure will affect everything yes yes, but if CF fails this will not affect ASP or .net or PHP or HTML pages and vice versa. If the DB server fails this will not affects pages that do not use the DB or where the queries are cached.

If you have 2 servers - one for database and one for Webserver/CF, a failure on either one will bring down all of your websites. You double the chance that there will be a problem. I run a server that combines everything.. It only has a few small websites, and CPU is usually sitting at about 2%. I would say combine them all, and see how it goes. When it gets to the point where the websites aren't snappy enough, separate out the database server to a different computer. I am about to upgrade to a newer server also. (Mine is about 5 years old).. what are people using for a firewall / security appliance? I am looking at a cisco 5505.
