Hi, Symfony for the frontend is an excellent choice. I recently did a project scoping for a project with a similar setup.
For the project I scoped for, I went with a symfony frontend and a Zend Framework backend. Why? Well, simply because for this project, that simply was the best fit. symfony could be just as good for the backend though. Especially with the new REST support in 1.2, symfony could well become an excellent choice. However, with the amount of users you might be running into, there are some optimizations you may want to look at. This group and the symfony-devs group are interesting for that. You might also want to talk to Dustin Whittle or check out of some of his Yahoo! presentations on slideshare. However, the choice for backend really depends on what you need this backend to do. There are situations where a J2EE backend is more fitting, or C#/.NET. These situations are getting less and less often though, as in a lot of situations, PHP will do just fine and even symfony will help you fine in this. So without knowing too much of the specifics, I can't go into this too much. But I hope this helps nonetheless.
