The problem that we're experiencing is that our single web server is getting "flooded" (not in a bad way) with a lot of incoming connections, our site is growing (yey). So I'm trying to figure out the best way to accommodate the growth. In our case, nginx itself is humming along just fine, but PHP is choking on requests both due to quantity of requests (it can't process them fast enough so there's growing queue) as well as due to delays in database (I think). So I'm upgrading the database and looking to add another web server box both to off load some of the load, as well as serve as a backup box, etc.<div>

Better cache those files locally! this is where you'll have to do some work (ie., "research") into the shared file systems to use.<br>
