[ILUG] Virtual server question

[Kevin Philp]

We are looking into options for putting together our next server. We are 
a small company with a small network and have used a single machine to 
act as general server for everything - not ideal but you have to start 
somewhere. I have been reading about running multiple virtual servers on 
one machine and want to check if my understanding is correct.

Does it make sense to run virtual servers using the same topology logic 
as you would with physical servers i.e. a server for the firewall and 
another server for the internal network. Does it make sense to split off 
various functions into different i.e. a separate server for the local 
NFS server and another for external SSH access.

Thanks

Kevin.
