Scaling to N boxes is first a matter of distributing the load. Personally I like to use LVS for that - if you're aiming really high, maybe supersparrow. Second you will have to look at how to distribute the data - usually the answer is segmentation or replication, with a few different twists. To reduce network traffic and response times, cacheing comes into it in many places. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.1°C) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
