Justifying Multiple Servers.
Hello,
I am not sure if this is the place to post the question but here goes.
I am planning to put on my network a self programmed E-commerce application and content management system. I would like for my clients to be able to access these apps via my web server. I was wondering if these apps should go on their own individual server(box) or should the all be placed on the web server(box)?
My thoughts were for processing purposes and to prevent one app from bringing down the house if there were a problem, they should go on individual boxes.
I was also wondering if the processors from the individual box do the work for processing or will the web server do the actual processing? I am using ASP (Active Server Pages)
Could someone help me here?
Thanks.

You can have 2- 256 devices on the other side of the director but to the outside world they look like a single device.
AND
The local director has stateful fail over. So if a person was logging in even with SSL it will fail over to the next available system should the server crash, go offline or otherwise die. This also allows you to do backups and maintenance while being up at the same time.
