I am not trying to discourage you from using MTS, and I am glad you don't enounter the bugs I've encountered. I am telling you that from my experience I have enountered bugs with MTS which do not seem to surface with Dedicated Server. We'll see how the latest patch takes care of some of the problems we've been encountering under high load or when our application crashes. It is not uncommon for me to see dispatchers spinning or servers stuck in WAIT(RESET) state. I am also a strong believer that an application capable of connection pooling connecting through dedicated servers will be more stable and have less overhead, however that belief is not founded on anything other than my experience (and not testing/benchmarking).

By instances I hope you mean databases. In which case I think that maybe 10 is OK on a 10+ CPU box. The beauty of having separate databases in rapid development environement, where not all bugs (read--bad queries, bad design, etc) are not caught before going into production, is that such defficiencies will be isolated in a single database and will not affect other application. In addition, frequently different apps require different database versions, which is luckily not the case in my environment .......
