Deployment options for PASOE

Hi,

We're currently looking moving our application server over to PASOE 11.6, so I've spent some time going through documentation particularly around the differences between this and the Classic appserver.   One of the principle points that keeps jumping out is that PASOE combines a whole heap server functions that we needed separate services for before (like Appserver, Webspeed, AIA, etc).   

Under our current deployment architecture, we run the classic Appserver product directly on the database server machine.  We then run an AIA on a firewalled web server machine (IIS) to get webservices to chat back to the appserver. Now then, here's my where I need a bit of guidance..... I'd like to keep the ABL (ADM2 backend) on the database server for maximum performance, however, there's not a chance that I'm going to put the DB server near the internet door to serve the web users! :-)   In this instance, would it be better to use a 2nd PASOE server to service the web clients, or should I keep a single PASOE on the DB machine and use something like a forward/reverse proxy to redirect the requests from the web server?  Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick here?

Any pointers would be a great help.... oh, and Happy New Year!

Cheers,

Rich
