When we first started with the old iPlanet product all our prod directories were connected to a common admin server config instance. Over time, I found that made things difficult when something would "happen" to that admin server (whether intentionally or unintentionally). As a result, my practice now is to have a separate config instance for each physical server. I've often wanted to go back to using a single config instance, but never had the time to really think through what you'd need to do to recover if, for example, the admin server stopped working for some reason. I think i once saw a way to attach a running directory to a different admin server, just can't remmember where. Something covering that would make a great HOWTO.
