Hi, I have a service that is currently running a basic LAMP stack with mod_perl and life has been good!
The site running has been getting very busy and I've ordered a second machine with intention to move the database off that machine and start the growing up process. I am looking for next steps to growing up from this machine. Can somebody recommend a good article, presentation or document that advocates various strategies to growing up the current architecture (i.e. basic load balancing, network topology, switches, etc. )? I realize that milage will vary based on the particular service and demands. Currently, the site does not deliver a lot of static content that can be cached or cause huge I/O issues (i.e. images, media, huge pages, etc). Our database is probably 95% read-only. Thanks a lot w
