ejb-servlets deployment

[Swaminathan P]

Hi all, I have a question on deployment of ejbs and servlets in different machines. Currently we are looking into  two approches     1) httpServer+servlet container on one machine and application server(which serves just ejbs) on another machine.     2) http server(which routes the servlet/jsp requests to the application server) on one machine and application server(ejbs+servlets) on another machine.. any suggestions on the adv/disadvantage/performance bottlenecks of these two approches?? thanks & regards swami
