On the grounds that the catalogue is supposed to serve as protection for the target, it would make sense for them to be on entirely separate machines. You don't want a single hardware failure taking out *both* your database and the thing you'll use to recover it! The Oracle recommendation is that your target database should house a new catalogue for backing up the main catalogue -each protects the other, in other words.
