I am sorry I didnt quite understand the question. We had to do lot of optimization to be able to cope up to that much traffic. We started with a very bad server P3(1.1GHz) hosting both db and web, which was not able to cope up at all and server load was always above 10 and above 60 during peak time. This made site completely useless. We work on following items as part of optimisation (some before, some after separatin db and web on different servers): 1. Apache configuration (connections, caching, mod_expires, gzip etc) 2. Mysql configuration ( cache, tmp tables, innodb buffer, join buffer etc) 3. Symfony ( Everything from the docs...using caching efficiently helped a lot, gzip, etc) 4. We already had APC
The UI design that was given to us had LOTS of images so one page request resulted in over 30 server requests, which was a very bad idea. Our current setup is: DB: P3(1.1GHz), 4GM RAM Web: P4(3GHz), 3GM RAM Server load on both the servers are below 1 (except few spikes) all the time after optimization.
