One problem with using apache on the netras is the bloat when you add in mod_perl, so you'll probably need some extra RAM. They only come with half a GB, and extra is not particularly cheap from sun.
If you're using an app server of some kind there should be no problem. I used a few netra T1's running netscape enterprise server to hit a netscape app server backend and they worked great.
BTW--I'm not sure I've seen any 1U models that used the 25-pin serial connectors as someone suggested above. Generally the serial ports are rj-45.

Yes, rj-45. You use flat ribbon cable instead of cat-5 so you don't get cross-talk.
