I've got a need to host a blog for a very popular web property. The desired configuration is to have a single blog from the author that is hosted across several servers for public viewing. When I say popular, I'm talking thousands of visits per hour.
Since blogs are database-based I run into the issue of db replication and keeping content across the servers in sync. Is anyone here hosting a single blog across multiple servers? OR, can anyone provide some stats as to the scalability/capacity of b2evo? (visits/day, procs & ram on the server, etc.)
Thanks in advance.
What do you think of:
- generate static file on 1 backend server hosting the DB, then replicate this static files on multiple front-ends web servers.
Static file can ben generated in admin panel. It should not be difficult to generate it automatically throught a crontab then rsync it to fronts servers.
It's just an idea.
