The Paradox Consulting Group, Inc recommends that both the web server and the sql server reside on the same physical server for maximum performance on small to medium sized installations.

On larger more heavily-loaded installations, it is recommended that the web server and sql server reside on seperate servers, with both servers being directly connected to each other via either a private network/VLAN or a 'cross-over' cable.
