Best thing is to do a load test on your application. Increase the load and
get to a point where you think the performance is degrading. Once you have
that # then you can decide if you want to spread the load in different web
server.

If you applicaiton is written properly and there is no memory leak from
leaving any database connection open or anything else, you don't have to
worry about spreading the load. But if you see some performance problem then
you are better of debuging your application than to try to spread the load.
You have to worry about spreading the load when you have more than couple of
hundred users per second.
