Are you sure the bottle-neck is the database backend. It seems to me that most of the processing is in the webserver front-ends. If that is the case, point a second front-end to the same backend database and you will be able to handle more tickets. It is worth testing, but is your database I/O even close to 100%? Cheers, Ken
