I use VM's whenever possible, even if it's a 1:1. Moves/upgrades are simply much easier. I'd run 2VM's if licensing isn't an issue.

It is time to upgrade the hardware that they are running on and I am curious with hypervisors and the technology of today if people think it is of value to replace the existing servers with servers running 2 separate virtual servers: 1 RODC, DNS, DHCP, and 1 file & print; or would you run it all as one physical server with all roles installed? The existing servers are 2008R2 and the new ones will be 2012.
