Hi, I am building a web app backed by database postgresql and currently the site is under a humongous torrent of hits. I have a question regarding the database backend config. The database folder has a file called postgresql.cons where we can specify no of active connections to the database -N which is currently 1024 and also specify the shared buffers. Is there any thumbrule in deciding the -N and also the no of shared buffers for my config of 4 frontend servers and 1 database backend server. There is no global or memcached mechanisms in use. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanx a
