web and db server location

[Grant Holman]

Which of these is setup is 'best'?

1) Having the webspeeb agents, the web server and the db server all on the same box.

2) Splitting these over more than one box. For example, having the web server on its own box and the agents and db server on another.

I've seen both of these examples implemented at different sites...

the webserver and messenger on one box.

the rest on the db server.

the db server doesnt have to run a webserver..
the webserver doesnt have to run a db server.
