You might not be able to deliver service to 1500 users using only one web-server, but definitely less servers than apache.
If you have 1500 mailboxes, measure concurrent connections, since these can be at least an order of magnitude less (maybe two). If this is the case, a single server may be feasible. - -- Jorge Valdes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNiL/jAAoJEFsohhtTMpH3c80H/jWXsaLad6a19yfUHrJbY5PS DqI5Fo6DVwtNPtFIYEOP/ndrHXWX+seEe8uhNOrlU49lir+2Thk/I6wzEuKmZFQR iCy4laa0AjvpEJi8wLQbfj63vNSVFargZ3ovXnPy2YqB5jLMsodOLz3loth0T+tf +qI7fUA7U27IKt+yA3x/HzC3hPSyR6UGjPsj57b9OFmi6kGhToHf5+aNB2baSaUQ InoS4J4V3PFNFBY7cVq8oltCni37zauFzMa6rYJannudMxmItVl6kuYbuWIckFH7 o0jnDaqolPgR6iQQEl65JZj+rPBToXs0Z9DkQ/1swIu3IhKuFWJRgGSKI1PID9U= =vox3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/ BT/8f4f07cd
