      hmm, well that is 3 million hits per hour or 72 million hits per day.. And you want to load all of this on ONE server?

      in that case head over to sgi.com

          72 Million hits a day, ey?


          I'd use some load balancing if I were you.

            i don't think any one server could handle it, but a round robin of servers could.

              tv events can focus 50k a min or more at one time - it isn't sustained over 24 hours though - hugly peeked

                Right, hugely peaked, one or two minutes out of each hour at 50k+ uniques, the rest dead, just need to know where the best place to go is...

                  Hi Bosch,

                  Hit me up if you are serious on this and we can go over some of the similar solutions we currently have in place. I can also involve our engineering staff to help you get this setup.

                          Use a CDN (content delivery network) like akamai, mirror image internet, or speedera. A CDN is much cheaper than building out and maintaining an enormous infrastructure that will sit mostly idle between 2 minute peaks.

                            Actually you don't need a crazy setup. Check out this article:

                            http://geology.heroy.smu.edu/~dpa-www/attention_span/

                            This guy has been slashdotted _twice_ using only two mediocre servers. All you need is Linux and some loadbalancing software. I would worry more about the connection then the hardware.

                                I think it also depends on whether you're serving static or dynamic content.

                                  You are correct it does depend on type of content you are serving, but either way a network file system setup would be able to handle it.

                                              Bosch,

                                              if you are serious for this and want to save on hardware costs, contact me, I'll make you a custom web server.

                                              50k uniques is no problem.

                                              PornGraph currently does 1000 uniques a second at peak times and more than 2000 hits a second, and what porngraph does is a LOT more trouble than your website will be, I'm sure of that

                                              So, hit me up on icq: 1889711

                                                This really depends on content. If you're planning to serve static content, it's definitely doable. Dynamic, need some load-balancing going on.

                                                I've gotten > 1000 requests a second on ancient hardware. Of course, this isn't a live load, so your milage may vary.

                                                Any server written using poll/sig/kqueue is pretty good. There's fnord, thttpd (need to patch it for keep-alive), tux (this is linux kernel space server, haven't tried it personally). I've got an experimental one that does more than 3000 req/s, though I'm not sure how portable it is yet.

                                                  if I was gonna do that .... I would have a cache control system and round robin DNS to distribute load but that might not be necessary depending on server config (is mysql needed and other stuff like that) ... for something like gfy I would probably use 2 dedicated servers minimum, 2 dual processor with min 1 gig ram systems - one for mysql 1 for the site...
                                                  I've noticed GFY has lots of things like "notify of replies by email" removed, I've always wondered if its cus of CPU resources and all...

                                                      that like a circle jerk?
