As I have never actually deployed a system like this so take this with a grain of salt. Virtual servers should be able to do what you want here. I believe there is a configuration where you'd have your front end server dispatching the request to a select backend server through a high-speed interconnect. That backend would then send the response directly to the client via its own net connection. You have your traffic scalability as a tipical http request is quite small and the responses can be sent over different connections. I have no idea how the routing for this works but have a look at http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ for more information. Btw, if you're just serving static content, why not have an nfs server and gigabit or multiple gigabit ethernet links connecting it with your backends. S -- Shane Wegner http://www.cm.nu/~shane/
