Depending on the machine (ie CPU, Memory) and how much combined usage you have you should be able to run all your servers off the same machine... from a performance standpoint. Security is another issue. In particular you need to have public FTP? It is safer to use scp. Also what kind of DNS will this be? A backup DNS, primary or caching? Only time I can think performance would be an issue is if you were to run a primary DNS for a very buy domain or domains.
