Our current implementation already serves tens of thousands of pages, and
it's for the most part running on 8-10 year old hardware. We have three
core DFS servers housing files, and three web servers serving content. The
only time we've ever had a problem was once we got Slashdot'd by a staff
member's personal project:
http://www.csupomona.edu/~jelerma/springfield/map/index.html
other than that, it's been fine. I can't imagine brand-new hardware running
shiny new filesystems couldn't handle the same load 10-year-old hardware
has been? Although arguably, considering I can't find anything equivalent
feature wise to DFS, perhaps the current offerings aren't equivalent
scalability-wise either :(...
