This is not a personal site, but a business site, and they *could*, theoretically, get a good number of hits. That's why I need to have some kind of numeric guidelines. I'm figuring on virtualization, and at least two real servers for the web with two VM's on each, and another for the d/b; don't begin to know enough to know whether we'll need to mirror the d/b. > also sufficient to have a low cost hardware (expect if you need to be HA Um, low cost for rack mounts, that is. > ...

I *may*, to start, just let VM handle that. <snip> Thanks. mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
