I strongly believe that this is best practice. No application servers 
directly in Desktop-user-LAN. I could go some way with virtualization in 
a small (>50 Users total) enviroment. But putting a win32-machine in a 
app-server role with other win32-clients used by Desktop/Web-users in 
one physical LAN (network segment) is heading for desaster. In a case 
with no budget, just use an old but decent desktop and run a GNU/Linux 
firewall-distro on it.

Hope that helps.
