Load balanced servers. Have your host set it up. I think you can have about 256 servers load-balanced; identical data on each server and then a router / switch determines what server load is the least and sends them to it.

GFY is in a cluster I believe.

I should add the load-balancing is seamless; your surfers won't know or see it.

Definitely not necessary. That's overkill. If you're not serving completely dynamic content, load balancing is a waste. Sounds like more of a script issue to me.
