[horde] Generell Server setup question - splitting services

[Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator]

Hi,

as we started to use horde Groupware webmail edition, we installed all
software (imap/pop3, webserver, db-server, ...) on one physical mashine.

Now, as more people start to use horde, the performance is not scaling
very good :-).

All user authentication is local, using the local passwd & shadow files,
no LDAP etc.

What I think off is, to put the webserver-stuff on an other box, putting
the database on an onther and leaving the mailserver doing the
mailstuff. So to set up three servers.

Is this possible? If so, is there some best practice guide I haven'd
found yet?

We use Centos 5.4, mysql 5.1.x, php 5.1.x, latest Horde GW-Edition.

Thanks for any hints and suggestions.


Cheers,

	Götz
