I presume you have already told your clients sysadmin this, and that he:
- thinks they won't break
- thinks changing is easy
Insist on decent testing before moving to production, that will show if
things break or not. If they break, make sure you have a quote for
fixing the broken parts ready.
If I had to set it up, I would keep websites on 1 server and databases
on another one, unless there are pressing requirements/circumstances
that you have not described. Depending on load email would probably go
on the database server, with some very tight access control lists on the
firewall/router for that server.
