I probably would not use it on a production server.  If you are willing to 
undertake a migration to NW 4, then it is a good place to start.  If, on the 
other hand, you know that you are not migrating to NW 4, then I don't see any 
point to having one NW 4 machine amid a sea of NW 3 machines.
An exception is if you run software, such as GroupWise 5, that requires an 
NDS locus somewhere.  Then you can use your little NW 4 server for this 
purpose.
I don't recommend using NT for TCP/IP-based services, but a lot of people do 
that and they suffer as a result.  There's no need to rehash that again.
It might be worth your time to set up that NW 4.11 as an experimental server, 
especially since you can host web sites and so similar tricks with it.  You 
may also get a feeling for how NDS works, allowing you to better evaluate 
your options for a more widespread NW 4 upgrade.
