Boomtown has been using Admin Mod for a long time for their server management and to restrict access to only registered users. Right now I can't remember how many users Boomtown has in their database but it's in the thousands. You could try to contact Morten Striboldt from Boomtown (if he is still there) and see if he is willing to answer you some questions. He is familiar with Admin Mod on Boomtown. Check the boomtown.net contact page for the Staff or Gameservers contact address and see if you can ask your way through to him. I'm sorry but I can't give you his email. There are a few features that were added to Admin Mod upon Boomtown's request. Two were related to being able to manage the huge number of users in the database. One is that you don't have to load the whole database into AM's memory upon startup. Instead, the database will be queried each time a user joins. This, of course, means that you should have a reliable and very quick database server connection. Check the mysql_preload cvar. The second was that to use regex, e.g. with clan tags, an extra tags database is used which is checked against with regex. That makes checks for clantags quicker than having to scan the whole users db with regex. (Another thing was the amv_private_server cvar which lets you reserve the server for registered users only while still being able to reserve special rights, e.g. for admins via the normal access rights and authentication system.) I think Admin Mod should be able to handle your requirements fine since it has been working fine for Boomtown, last time I checked.
