Home page for web-based catalogues

[Walter Giesbrecht]

A while back, I posted a question about what was the default home page 
for public Internet workstations within a library; got lots of 
interesting answers, too. Now I'd like to ask a similar question of those 
of you who have web interfaces to your catalogues:

1. Do you use the top-level page of the catalogue for the home page on 
   public terminals, or the home page of your "other" web server?

2. A related question (for me, at least) is: does your web-based 
   catalogue interface reside on the same server as the rest of your web 
   documents? I'm trying to figure out whether it's better to have two 
   separate servers for both functions, or just one.

If you could give me the reasons for both decisions, I'd be grateful.
I'll summarize the responses I get for the list.
