Folks:

        I'm new to Linux. I've been using it for a year or so, but 
have relied upon (questionable) GUI's for most of that time. Now I'm 
dedicating myself to really LEARNING this stuff - with the help of a 
network admin friend.

Here's the question:

        My company provides Web site hosting services for about 2 
dozen (Web site development) clients. I've just purchased my 3rd (1U) 
server for my colo space. All services (HTTP, SMTP, POP, FTP, etc.) 
have previously been allocated to just the one server. The second 
server was for backup or (occasionally) Anonymous FTP for large files.
        I'm trying to determine the best arrangement of services for 
each box. Here's my fantasy as to separation of services for highest 
security:

                Box #1  -- Web (HTTP) and Primary DNS
                Box #2  -- Mail (POP3) and Secondary DNS
                Box #3  -- Backup (or occasional Anonymous FTP)

        Any thoughts about this arrangement or suggestions for a better mix?
