Hello Mike, Long time no speak. You can have several mid-tiers and several AR servers. It sounds like you can do with just one AR server and one mid-tier with only 500 users. If you want to do two mid-tiers, that will give your users a decent amount of horsepower. Both mid-tiers have to have your AR server as the preference server. In the case were you would have two AR Servers, it gets more complicated on the network side where that involves a Virtual IP and name for your load balanced AR servers. That virtual name/load balanced AR Server name will be the one that you input into your mid-tier configuration as the preference server and visualization server. All of this is really for high availability environments. At this point it sounds like you can stick with a single threaded environment with a set of stout AR and Mid-tier servers.
