Thanks. That's the first I've heard of that. I'm eager to hear more about
that.

I checked there for many things and spent a good deal of time in the
scalability and load-balancing area (if that's what you're referring to).
There are many large sites using CF (according to "case studies" at
Allaire's site and bits and pieces I read in the weeklies), but there are no
case studies of large-scale IPP installations, which comes closer to what I
need to read about.
I've still got some stones to turn over at Allaire's support area, fer sher.

Mainly NT. He flogged SQL Server a bit, but not much. CF held up pretty
well, but he also doesn't know much about it, so didn't have any strong
opinions.

Well, far as I know, there is no MS SQL Server for any Unix, if that's what
you were saying. Maybe they have another SQL database that they were talking
about?

Good guess. A central database (actually more like 5-6 linked databases)
will be serving almost all of the domains. Domains will continue to be added
as time goes on.

Yes, that's in our not-very-far-in-the-future plan, for sure. Right now I'm
just happy that we've got our colo machine installed and running (as of 2
hours ago) and I'm starting to move files over to it. A few more minutes of
celebration, then it's back to the brain stuff...
If anyone can hook me up with someone who has done/maintained a large CF
installation at somewhere like a hosting service, I'd be a happy camper.
Thanks,
Jack
