lighttpd will fight with apache2.  This won't ever work properly.

You need to install route servers on their own separate virtual machines.

You also need two route servers.  The reason you need two is that 
sometimes you will need to upgrade one, so you need the other one 
running while you do this.

People often ask us what we use at INEX, so here's roughly our layout:

1x physical server / hypervisor running primary route servers in a VM
1x physical server / hypervisor running secondary route servers in a VM

1x hypervisor cluster running everything else:
	- ixpmanager vm
	- database vm
	- sflow vm
	- graphing vm
	- other stuff

The reason we keep the route servers on their own physical servers is 
because route servers are considered production IXP services, i.e. they 
relate causing packets to flow across the IXP peering platform.

Everything else is management, so that's on its own separate hypervisor 
cluster.
