Split power supply from single PSU

Hello,
I found this diagram... Do you think it can give good results for 4-500mA?
Thank you.

No, I have designed something around this but not built yet. I came across it when I was looking to get a 15V negative rail from an existing positive 18V SMPS, then both rails routed to linear regulators for +/-12V. If you need to boost your psu before split to pos/neg, then similar DC/DC converters that come at SIP-4 package with isolated outputs could be used, so with two in series you could have for example 5V in, +/-15V out and then to LM78xx/LM79xx. I have used this one with great results. Generally, the scheme with DC/DC converters to get appropriate rails and then feed to linear regulators always works for me.
