What Barney said. I have more sites than that running on a dual-proc/1.5gb ram system running mostly fully-db-driven cms pages. Formerly that server also ran web and db services as well. Recently began migrating the sites to a CF/IIS-only box and the load decrease is really huge.
Seems like the real traffic issues occur when the search engine bots crawl zillions of pages about one week out of every month. Either way, you have to babysit the server and, after observation and experience tells you its time, break up the load to a new box. ...and you'll know when its time as CF will start freaking out on you. Your pager will no longer stay silent for weeks. Your girlfriend will start hating that beeping sound. You will stat losing a lot of sleep cuz you keep having to get up and restart CF... you'll know. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware: a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
