When you get up around the 1,000,000 per day mark on movie galleries, you NEED to have two severs. It will pin 100mbits line which could be solved with another NIC .. but the large number of HTML files that galleries create (all the recips) will eventually start to bog down the server.
I'm using two servers, but just have domains seperated. If you're running less than 500,000 hits a day, even the least talented server admin's optimization should eliminate the need for a second server.
