I would hope it would be OK to compare options on this list! :-) Is
MacOS X Server a good fit for these needs, or is it not? How does this
product offer advantages over MacOS X Server?
Of course it is valid to compare options here.
if somebody wants to run a dns server only, do it on a client.
if somebody wants to run a web server only, do it on a client.
if somebody wants to run a ftp server only, do it on a client.
if somebody wants to run a mail server only, do it on a client.
if somebody wants to run any combination of the above, do it on a client.
if somebody wants to share files with another computer, buy osx server.
that's the message Apple server tech support gave me.
the only things server is for are:
a fancy user interface to the core functionality already existing in the client machines
the ability to share files with other mac computers (something taken away from client machines with the shift from os9 to osx)
a watchdog timer that restarts services that were supposed to be running but for some reason shut down
