It doesn't matter.  My suggestion is starting with a shared IP# for 
customers not running a secure server.  If your customers need a secure 
server, you should give each secure server it's own IP.

Nope.

Please don't do both primary and secondary on one server.  It's not a good 
idea, because if one server is temporarily down all website requests will 
return to sender with a domain does not exist error instead of a system 
cannot be reached error, and all email will be returned as permanently 
undeliverable instead of just held in a cue until your machine is back 
up.  We offer geographically diverse servers (under the name <ns-one.net> 
to our customers; I'd suggest you do to.

Slowly, but surely <smile>.
