'localhost' i.e. 127.0.0.1 is automagically rewritten
to the 'primary' assinged ip, which will probably cause
some issues if you rely on 127.0.0.1

if possible, that would be a better choice, IMHO

yes, it is possible, but it does only make limited
sense if you are concerned about security ...

normally you setup a DMZ to create an environment
which allows to be less restrictive but still 'safe'
and exactly this isn't possible if you share the
same network card and/or the same host ...
sorted by increasing security IMHO:
- single host, firewall, services, enduser, 1nic
- single host, firewall, vservers (services), 1nic
- single host, firewall, vservers (services, enduser), 2nic
- separate firewall, 2nic (services), 2nd-host enduser
- separate firewall, 2nic, 2nd-host (services), enduser
- separate firewall, 2nic, 2nd-host vservers (services), enduser
best,
Herbert
