can't answer 1 and 2 as i've never done that.

as to 3 - is you plan to offer either the legacy webmail or surgeweb, 
netwin has a built-in server for this that runs on the standard http 
port (80). that means your production web server can't run on the 
standard port, which is NOT a good thing.

my recollection is that you can run webmail (surgeweb) on a different 
port, but that wouldn't be user-friendly either. the url would have to be:

http://www.mymailserver.com:8080 or some such.

also, not a good thing.

that's my recollection and i could be dead wrong......

then again, if your hardware can handle it, running two virtual servers 
on the box would solve that problem.
