Then you truly must be doing something wrong...
Our main site does over 1.2 million hits a week with extremely heavy
database and CF processing. The CF machine is a Dual PII 400, 512mb RAM and
a RAID array... The database hardware is identical, and is running SQL7.
That's it, no clustering or anything like that. We rarely ever have a
problem with CF. The code has been optimized on the heavily hit pages but
there is still a decent amount of older quick and dirty stuff. I don't have
a clue as to how you were crashing the server with only 100,000 hits... but
I'm willing to bet it was your code.
