	Actually....  Things do seem to go steadily down hill after the
first one.  One of those slippery slope thingies.  Trouble is that after
you lay in a thousand users or so and add a decent amount of E-Mail
traffic on top of that, one server ain't gonna cut it.  Of course, with
multiple servers you get a law of diminishing returns.  At what point
does the demand on the network from synchronization of multiple exchange
servers exceed the random acts of terrorism resulting from overloading one.
I think the answer is "two".  :-)
