What are the opinions of others as far as whether or not to have your
servers act as clients also? Our site currently has 6 Sparc's acting
as servers, none of them are clients. We've been running this way for,
I think, at least two years with no problems. Is there really that much
of a benefit to running client software on the servers? How about just
running it on the system control machine? We would not let users log
onto the servers, by the way.
