Assuming you're using MySQL, there are some superb seminars available at 
http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/on-demand-webinars/ - however 
they're mostly about software architecture. The recommendation is 
generally that you have one DB server doing all the insert/update/delete 
commands, replicating to a bunch of read-only boxes.


Also see (bearing in mind this is in the 1.0 docs) 
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/scenario.html - make sure you're 
getting the best you can out of one box before you start spreading out.


If you're looking at having a pool of front end servers, the simplest 
solution is to use DNS to return multiple IPs with a short TTL. Check 
out Eddie ( http://eddie.sourceforge.net/lbdns.html )
With a larger budget you can get a decent hardware load balancer from 
Foundry (my favourite) or Alteon - there are others like F5 and Zeus but 
they're just hacked up *nix boxes.


That's about all I can advise, I suggest any further discussion takes 
place off list.


cheers
