Hi Mike, here's a recent thread on the issue that discusses things you're asking: http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/Postgres-configuration-with-DSpace-td4663937.html
Pointing DSpace to use Postgres on another machine is trivial (assuming you have firewalls, vlans, DNS and routing set up properly), in dspace.cfg, change db.url to point to the appropriate server. That's all. I do not see almost any benefit in running the DB server on a separate VM if there's only the DSpace database there. OTOH, if you already have a Postgres server with other databases, adding the dspace database and having the DBA taking care of them all can be beneficial.
