Well, any piece of software can have a security exploit.  In all of
our deployments (those that do not require redundancy), we install
the WI, SG and RSA Agent on the same server.  But, we will have two
DMZ IP addresses and two public IP addresses (one for the WI site and
the other for the SG), along with two SSL certs.

I can tell you that we haven't run into very many problems with this
scenario.  The only issue that I'm aware of is a recent one with the
Dell PowerEdge 720.  The system BIOS had to be updated, and the
onboard NIC drivers needed to be updated.

Other than that, we haven't seen any issues with this type of setup.
