[Casper] 10.4 vs 10.5 server for test environment

[Ernst, Craig S.]

My test environment is a G5 tower running Tiger Server. Works great. I attempted to use Parallels server for my test environment Leopard server, but performance was an issue for some reason (haven't gotten back around to that yet), and this wasn't even on the same Xserve as my main JSS.

In production I used teamed NICs on my Xserve.

I don't think it's convenient or even easy/possible to run a second instance of the JSS on the same system without some heavy modification.

Hi-

I'm going to be setting up a test environment on a second xserve.  Basically, another JSS.  2 questions about this:

 1.  The hardware I have available has 10.4 server on it.  Is there that much of a difference, that I should go with the cost of upgrading to 10.5 on that box when it comes to the JSS?
 2.  Related, if there is a big enough difference, instead of purchasing another copy of 10.5 server, is there a way to set up a second instance of the JSS (the test JSS) on the same box as my prod JSS?  Related note, my NICs are teamed.  I know this is likely not recommended, but I'm curious anyway.

Thanks
