The answer here is RedBack. It is designed for exactly this purpose. We have customers servicing millions of requests per day on a hundred or less Webshares. For those that want to use UO.NET or UniObjects for Java, we will be releasing connection pooling in UniData 7.1 at the end of June. It is separately licensed and does not consume database seats. This will follow for UniVerse at its next major release. Regards, LeRoy F.
