Ok, so here's my question(s):
1) Let's say you have a business with several business segments/divisions each one having it's own separate web site. You're starting the SEO/SEP process for all of them - Is it valid or worth the cost of third party hosting to host these sites on separate, independent servers (different companies) so that your sites have different IP addresses? Does this give you any advantage over hosting them all on one server with the same IP address?
2) Are there any other methods besides XML Feeds for getting dynamic or deep content indexed in a timely, efficient manner?
3) Also, other than XML Feeds - anyone have any tips/tricks/ideas/thoughts on getting flash based sites indexed?
4) Lastly (whew!), do search engines index each other? If so, how frequently and who's indexing who? I've had experiences where sponsored/paid ads placed have ended up word for word in the regular (non-paid) results of other engines.
Again, my apologies if this is well covered ground elsewhere - any thoughts or wisdom you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think so.

Dunno.
"3) Also, other than XML Feeds - anyone have any tips/tricks/ideas/thoughts on getting flash based sites indexed?"
Simple - put some content on the page that Google can read, i.e. plain html text. Google can't read Flash but can read text. There's no other answer.
"4) Lastly (whew!), do search engines index each other? If so, how frequently and who's indexing who? I've had experiences where sponsored/paid ads placed have ended up word for word in the regular (non-paid) results of other engines."
No - search engine results are generated on the fly, SEs don't have a database of search engine results pages that robots could spider. SEs do spider directories such as dmoz. Sponsored/paid ads don't turn up in non-paid results of SEs, although sometimes they turn up in positions that look like non-paid results, e.g. at the top of the listings rather than over on the right. Usually there's a change in background colour or "sponsored link" text to discriminate them.
Hope that helps! :)
