    When the webserver is hacked, the only difference between one and two servers is the hub or switch :-)

    Brute force attacks / Denial of Services interferes with the system's performance and stability.
    Security issues compromise your complete network

    Conclusion:
    2 machines is better, when not having the right security definition it doesn't matter if you have 10 machines....
