Running Workflow Foundation on a different server than the CRM server?

In the last weeek I have been working on my new assignment for a large Financial Client in the Netherlands. One of the questions of my client was: is it possible to run the Workflow Foundation on a seperate dedicated server than the CRM server? After a short call with Microsoft, a received a link of one of the Microsoft CRM consultants that's said:
It is NOT possible to run Workflow Foundation on a different server than the CRM server, see original post here.
The following roles/services can be installed on different servers (only by using command prompt installation):
  • SRS Data Connector
  • SQL Server
  • Application Server
  • Asynchronous Processing Service
  • Deployment Service
  • Discovery Service
  • Help Server
  • SDK Server

So this can have impact on your architecture so keep in mind!
