For AFS database servers (running ka pt vl and bu server processes)
have 3 machines. This way, quorum can still be established if
you loose a server.
Having 2 db servers means the sync site will not be recovered
in the event of a server outage.
And yes, in an ideal world, desk workstations are clients while
servers (with only admin logins) are purely dedicated to AFS
database and file serving from a secured machine room.
