I recommend my colleague Theo Schlossnagle's book, Scalable Internet Architectures. It addresses these exact types of questions in a "teach a man to fish" sort of way.
+1 Also, take a look into memcache, it's not as fast as local caches but scales well. Created by the guys at facebook, memcache gets plenty of real-world high traffic exercise ;-) Also consider two separate mysql groups, one cluster for CRUD ops (Create/Replace/Update/Delete) and the other (slaves) for reads (SELECTs). Chances are, once you get busy with memcache you will start spending most of your time dealing with the database itself; and having a separate cluster optimized for SELECTs makes the job a lot easier. -- Mitch _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
