Its toysrus.com.
The DB is not on the same box, there is a 15 minute per machine startup
routine which loads the entire product catalog into memory for fast access
when a machine is rebooted. Having the DB on the same box as CF is a big
no-no for reasons of performance, scalability and most of all security.
No, I do not know this first hand, but it comes from a public lecture by a
well known Allaire employee.
