We are hosting a high volume site that gets about 1 million page views a day on RedHat 7.3. We currently have 3 load balanced servers on the front end accessing a MySQL server on the back end. The MySQL servers is dual P3 1ghz with 1 GB of RAM and when the MySQL queries hit about 50 per second, the DB crashes and the servers is useless unless you reset the DB. Memory is only at about 50% usage, but the CPU skyrockets to 100%.
The only solution we can think of is to throw a huge server at the backend (i.e. 4-8 processor Compaq 8500) and keep RH 7.3 or switch to Windows 2000 Advanced Server and cluster a few dual P3 servers together. Any other solutions to make MySQL handle a high volume site?
