It depends on what heavy traffic is and what your machine is.. If it's an E10K, then you can probably put them both on one machine for most traffic loads :)
Your database will typically perform better if you have your DB on a separate machine. Without knowing more about the code running the site, the database schema, the machines and the traffic load, I would probably design your setup so that you can start scaling out easily -- go from one to two, and scale from there.
