Hi,

I'd like to get some opinions regarding best practices for mission
critical systems with multiple services. 

I have a system that basically is a single point of failure:  if it's
down, nothing goes.  The services on that machine are WWW, NIS, NFS and
mail.  Mail is delivered to ~/.mail so mail can be read via NFS and need
not be fetched.

I do not like having all my eggs in this one basket, but on the other
hand distributing the services to several machines seems to complicate
things and increase the likeliness of one of the services failing.

So... what are your comments/experiences?  How many eggs do you keep in
your basket(s)?
