Hello, Thanks for the suggestion. But we have extra machines that we would like to use as a Network Load Balancing.
Currently we cannot arrange to buy a new RAM and also in near future we will be increasing the number of nodes to 100+. In that case we would not prefer a single point of failure (I mean a single server). What in that case can be done?

I would recommend adding more memory (like 1-2 G RAM). This would be more cost effective than a separate machine. Load balancing issues have only come to be of concern when you have 75+ users.
