It's not about load though, especially since these are all going
to be running on the same VM hosting box, it's about isolation.
Last I heard, sharing machines between gLite services wasn't
officially supported, and even when it was, it would occasionally
go wrong. Particularly for two services that are both essentially
BDIIs, having them separate ensures that one's packages, or its
YAIM scripts, or anything else, can't stomp on something that
other one is using.
