Fellow compu-folks,
While I appreciate the advice given so far, NONE of it has addressed my
original question. Let me clarify a couple of things.
1). I already have a perfectly good hardware firewall/router in the form
of a Zyxel Prestige 312. I do NOT need to dedicate any other system to this
task.
2). My ORIGINAL question: Given the list of machines I posted earlier,
which system would be best suited to which function?
Here are my current thoughts on this.
Mail servers: Both SPARCClassics or a Classic and that accelerated IPX I
have.
(Future) Web server: The NEC RISCStation 2200. Plenty of headroom to grow
there.
The FTP/News box: One of the MicroVAX 3's. Lots of space up front for
large-capacity hard drives.
It may be a bit slow. I'd use a Classic for this, and use one of the MicroVAX
as mail backup (should'nt get much traffic anyway).
