Not really, however it's been discussed on the list now and again - I
think for the most part, most agree it is just a bad idea, however, I
suppose you could run it on a separate vm instance, depending on your
shop/site.

Here, I will always run it on external hardware, as we run 99%
virtual/ESX so putting in the cluster im monitoring would just be a
counter-productive. :-P

Cheers,
James
