Sure; that's what Beowulf clusters use. This would require some customization,
it'd just be running in character mode, level 3, but speaking as a guy who's done a
lot of this, there IS a good reason not to do it this way: reliability.
If everything's on one server, you have a critical path for failure: one bad hub
or NFS problem and the entire thing is DOA. Seperate servers, though a pain in the
butt to individually maintain, are more likely to remain free-standing in times of
trouble. Besides, the hardware for doing most of these tasks are simple enough to use
"old" hardware, anyway.
But it's fun to think about, aye? :)
