as i said, i think it would still depend on how your users would use the
network. try downloading 50mb files from 5 different nodes at the same
time and you'll see what i mean. or you can also try to virus scan big
files and transfer other big files at the same time from a single box.
your box is good compared to others which also may be a factor. your
100mbps switch link will surely matter instead of having it distributed
to multiple switch links.
i suggest you use a separate file server plus a separate internet proxy
server is you need one. check http://www.ipcop.org, a really low end box
would suffice.
but it's still you call. :)

Why separate?
I have a linux box (P4 2.0G, 1MB RAM, and about 200GB
of total HD space) and they are running:
Postfix+SpamAssassin+ClamAV
DNS and DHCP
Samba for File and Print services
LDAP (for a common e-mail address book)
for >150 users in 3 separate geographic lcoations, and
the response time is ok (read: I don't receive
complains from the users).
and another old P3-750 with 256MB memory and 24GB
(RAID-5) box running LAMP for Bugzilla, dotProject and
test installation of various PHP-based webapps like
phpBB, MediaWiki, SugarCRM, etc.
I'm actually planning on getting a supersized server
to consolidate all these services into -- a box with 2
dual core processors (Intel or AMD), loads of RAM and
HD space (4xIDE with software RAID) and dual power
supply. This is because of plans to go live on the
various webapps I'm currently testing.
The only concern here would be a single-point of
failure. This is whre the old boxes would come in --
as a warm backup.
The only thing I've separated is my linux
firewall/proxy.

yes. make is distributed like dns and mail can come
along in one box then
samba and squid in another box.
-hth.
Note:
Still you need to monitor your system peaks ;-)

if you'll do much of file sharing, samba alone can
hog your system. i do
recommend having it in a separate box. but it can
do dns resolution too.
probably it will help a lot in the distribution of
browse lists as a
basic requirement of the windows or smb/cifs
network browsing.

as a follow up, what are the recommended setups
for multiple services
on a single box? like PDCs and Fileservers, MTAs
and DNS.. im also on
the same fix and i have very limited hardware.

Good day! Currently, my company uses Red
Hat Linux 9
for DNS, Squid and Sendmail services and
only uses
desktop hardware as server. I really want
to upgrade
this to another more powerful server
hardware but want
to use CentOS4 as OS, Squid as proxy, BIND
as DNS,
migrate from Sendmail to Postfix with CLAM
antivirus
and Spamasassin installed. I also want to
migrate from
NT4 PDC to Samba 3 as domain controller.
All this into
one server hardware. I want to know if this
is
advisable to run all this service into one
server. Is
there any security issues with this setup.
