RE: [IMail Forum] DNS Server Running in the Imail Server

[Elliott Bujan]

Title: Message

It depends on your network and your budget.  I always prefer to have this kind of servers (dns, dhcp, web proxy, etc) on a separate box for 2 reasons, avoid unnecessary load and avoid having 2 or more services down when the box fails.    If you have a lot of DNS traffic and constant maintenance, that means you're taking bandwidth away from email traffic and another potential source of OS failure.  If email is down, you know it's going to be only email and you'll get only email related calls.  If you have DNS issues as well, you'll get those calls too.   Elliott From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mario Antonio Sent: Monday, March 13, 2006 8:24 AM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: [IMail Forum] DNS Server Running in the Imail Server Dear List, I have been running Imail 8.15 in a Windows 2003 server (which is also a DNS server) without any problem so far. But I wonder what is the best configuration of these two options: Imail and DNS server in the same box, or each one in a separate server.
