Dave, We would want to co-locate 4-5 boxes (all FreeBSD & 1 NT). One box is a DB server (MySQL) and the others are web servers. We currently are no co-locating. All of our boxes are currently under our roof along with the bandwidth (2 T-1's). As we found out, the biggest point of failure that we have is if there is an extended power outage at our location.
