.NET Application Placement

[bairdt]

Do you put .NET applications on the same server as your Web Server / Service or is it better to keep them seperate? Can anyone explain how this best works?

Generally they're placed in Intepub/

http://wwwroot

which iscolates the application to a single area (making it easier to manage security).

If you're setting up a web farm or something, I believe each web server will have its own copy of the app.

bairdt- Do you mean the separation of the ASP.NET pages and their code-behind classes from the core logic of your application?

chiph; yes that's exactly what I mean. Do I basically build a web server for the front end operations and a web service to put all of the coded pages and reference them from my web server? Is that considered "best practice" because it is scalable?
