I think we decided this wasn't a huge loss and the benefits of going without
it were better domain name for end users and getting to use the upstream
openid auth plugin instead of maintaining our own fas auth plugin.

If we think we're going to load balance and/or want higher availability,
then we need separate machines.  The db is always critical to keeping an
application up.  app servers for well designed apps are much less critical
if we have multiple ones.

We'd need to setup db backup/replication/etc whether its on ask01 or on
a new db server... so really those points really seem to ask whether we
should host the db on db01/db02 or make a new db server for it.
