I would never try to put all the functionality you need on a Mac-server. I
have been running AppleShare-servers for about 7 years and I always had the
problem to figure out a stable configuration. In fact this had to been done
be pure try and error, since when the servers crash, they never tell you
why. I finally ended up having every function performed by one Mac-Server
only. If linux+netatalk had existed at that time, I would never have gone
through all these troubles.
On the other hand if people at your place do believe, they had control over
Mac-Servers doing all these tasks, they are simply wrong.
