Not bad at all. I have a ton of java apps which require lots of memory
and swap file. I have a 4 gig page file and a 2 gig page file on
different drives. Works great. I balance on CPU and memory for over
140 servers and there is not one server that has more then 5 sessions
then any other server.
If you have the option of putting a swap file on another drive or even a
different logical drive I don't see this as bad practice at all as long
as you have the free diskspace on each drive to support the page file.

Chris we run Windows 2003 Standard which will not allow Pagefiles
greater
than 4096. The only thing I could do is have multiple pagefiles but Im
sure
this is bad practice...
