That is what I assumed.  Some years back I went to see a computer area of a 
company (name witheld).  Someone told them that they needed to break
up POP3, SMTP, NNTP, and HTTP into seperate servers with serperate IP
addresses.  Well they purchased one server with raid and 4 network
cards.  This server ran NT.  I guess they thought that they would be too much
network load on each interface and cpu or I/O bound processes.
