Put all your eggs in one basket, and then *watch the basket*, eh?
I vote with the folks who recommend living with two db servers.
Availability is probably not going to be a problem (tho'
you will find that if you lose your lowest-number server in the middle
of the night, backups will fail). On the other hand, if you have
a DB server which is operating at high CPU utilization, performance
will randomly suffer across your entire environment. [ fs talks to pt,
