[UPHPU] Load Balancing - Software, Hardware

[Darrin Keller]

Hi Will, we set up a pretty robust system. It worked really well when we launched Digg's online store two months ago. Check it out at http://shop.digg.com. We had a TON of traffic and we could have handled twice as much as we received. We set up 3 web servers controlled by a director and two database servers. Let me know if you want the details.
