1. We run one instance of ofbiz on a separate server but this is because we are running a single application and want to scale by adding more machines.
2. It is easier to use the embedded ofbiz version rather than a standalone tomcat with ofbiz placed as a standard WAR file. From the Apache Web server perspective there isn't any difference. It is talking AJP protocol and can't tell if it is an embedded version of tomcat or standalone. 3. I'm not sure the reason some are running several version of ofbiz on the same machine. My guess is they have different customers or application and don't need the extra hardware to service these applications. We multiple instances of ofbiz on the same machine but this is so we can have a dev, testing, and production version running on the same machine. For maximum scalability you would put 1 instance of ofbiz on a single machine and load balance between these machines. We are using Amazon's EC2 servers so it is easy for us to shutdown to a single server at night and then start up several server during the days when the application is busy.
