My initial thoughts were that 2 servers would be great, but I'm hesitating.
I like the fact that we are getting a full server, my concerns would be that if we run a versus and a co-op that people will concentrate on the co-op (due to the lack of new maps to date.
So.....my thoughts are potentially one versus vanilla, one versus with custom maps as and when they develop. I know we need to cater for volumes, but let's not do so at the cost of other games.
If L4D is full I try to get on CS or CoD and vice versa, so I think, firstly we are a community, secondly we have the individual servers for all.
Thoughts?

Stick with one server until it's beedin' obvious we need to start another.
Train admins so they can switch the server between co-op (4) and versus (8) as needed.
I agree with Benny (did I really say that?)
The second server is patched and configured and just waiting for when you decide you want it - no rush. TBH the single server isnt full all the time so, I guess, it meets our needs just now.
Roll on the rest of the versus maps I say :)
How about just a regular public server as recruiting ground? That could easily be shifted over to a custom map server later on.
I think now that it's officially adopted more people will come on stream.
I've been meaning to get it for ages and will do so. I know others have said the same.

Excellent suggestion.
