Heh, I put in a solution that was MUCH larger. 16 sun servers (14 E420R
and 2 E6500s) just in the production environment. Total server count was
somewhere in the 60s.
One thing to note is that IIS on NT4 leaks memory like mad on a high
volume site so you will have to keep rebooting the boxes. The solution put
in place required both Sun and NT machines and the Sun boxes were
infinitely more stable (even though they were using *ugh* Netscape
Enterprise Server). But IIS on Windows 2000 appears to be much better.
