This is how we intend to use at this stage anyway. The server
equptiment we are looking at is a IBM xSeries 336 for primary with
dual HT Xeons and a xSeries 306m with with a single HT Pentium 4...
RAID 5 on the primary, and RAID 1 on the fail over.

This setup will run 1 domU for mail storage and processing and
multiple domUs for pop/imap/smtp proxys and multiple apache/php/mysql
domUs. These are setup for virtual ASP clients.
