I run the same stack for www.govtrack.us which gets around 15k page views a day, on a mid-to-low-end server. Up to about this load I have had no stability issues and would definitely recommend using mono. (OTOH, I generate each page in an unusual way, so I can't speak for the ASPX side of things.) Above that load, I've had some memory issues where mono would grow in size over the course of a day filling up the available RAM. At least one other person has posted a similar problem to the list. On the bright side, I haven't had this problem recently, but I've had less traffic recently than when I last saw the problem. (And, OTOH, I can't say for sure that that was even mono's fault and not my own.) The solution was to restart mod-mono-server often (whenever the server started to get a bit unresponsive). It sounds like your site might be around that threshold where I started to have problems, so I can't say anything conclusive besides best of luck! -- - Joshua Tauberer http://razor.occams.info "Strike up the klezmer and start acting like a man.
