GroupWise 7.0 on 3 machines

Question

Im planning to migrate my GroupWise 6.5 on netware 5.1 to GroupWise 7.0 oes2 (1500 users in one location).
But at the same time id like to move the current system from one server to three machines.
I decided to put
on the 1st machine - domain and MTA and the first PostOffice and POA
on the 2nd machine - second PostOffice
on the 3rd machine - GWIA and WEBACCESS
Is this a good solution or should i do it in some other way?
In one of the Novell documents i found a hint that i should have at least 2 domains (1 primary and 1 secondary) and i should put PostOffices under secondary domain and that primary domain should be only used for administrative purposes.
I need some advice.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Yes you should have 2 domains (primary and secondary). This gives you
redundancy and you can rebuild the primary from the secondary in case
of corruption.
Take your choice on which server to put it on. I normally put a
secondary domain on GWIA/WA server.
An advantage of putting the WA/GWIA on a different server is that when
you upgrade WA you have to take ALL the GW agents down on that server
as well as apache/java. With your POs on different servers users will
not see this down time, other than maybe seeing incoming email slightly
delayed.
