[OpenAFS] Question on AFS server setups

Hello,
	I was wondering how people distributed the file serving workload
on their AFS servers.  Do you set up fileservers to serve specific content,
for instance, only home areas, only web pages, only code distribution?
Or do you "stripe" data across all the fileservers, home areas
across all X number of servers, web pages across all X number of
fileservers, etc.  Or do you use a combination, home areas across
3 fileservers, web across a different 3 fileservers, etc.

Are there arguments for one over the other?


Thanks,
Ray
