Why bother?  It's very easy to score sun4m machines for free these days.  
sun4m is still supported by Linux, Solaris and *BSD.  If you spend even a 
small amount of money you can have sun4u (like the 6 Ultra 1's I just 
scored for $20/ea).

I had an SS1 around for curiosity's sake and  historical preservation, but 
when I moved back to PA this year I dumped a lot of those machines on the 
Aurora Linux project (and I understand that they were even less 
interested in supporting the SS1).

Nameservers?  Being upgraded from SS4 & SS10 hardware to Ultra 1's in a 
couple of weeks.  The SS's that I've been using I got for free.  So why 
even bother with lesser hardware?
