Since you mention you'll be running Debian squeeze (stable), I'll outline one possible approach which involves a single server. request-tracker3.8 is the Debian package of RT 3.8. It is in squeeze. request-tracker4 is the Debian package of RT4.0. It is in squeeze-backports. You can install both of these side by side, and have both running alongside each other, as long as you use the mod_fastcgi or mod_fcgi mode, rather than the mod_perl mode.
