install cf8 standard edition with remote apache?

["surfmanjoe" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am interested in installing cf8 standard edition on a stand alone server on a 
windows (win2003 standard 64 bit) box. An Apache web server (centOS 5) and a 
mysql will be another two separate servers. 

 So, I am wondering if this infrastructure is OK? I never tried them like this. 
I'd appreciate if anybody may share practical experience. Thanks.
