Building a Scaleable Apache Site?

bobm writes "I'm looking for feedback on any experience building a scaleable site. This would be a database driven site, not just a bunch of static pages. I've been looking for pointers to what other people have learned (either the easy way or hard way). I would like to keep it Apache based and am looking for feedback on the max # of children processes that you've been able to run, etc. Hardware-wise, I'm looking at using quad Xeons or even Sun E10K systems. I would like to stay non-clustered if possible."

I've been looking for pointers to what other people have learned (either the easy way or hard way).

Wow. People are really picky today. Back when I was a young'n we didn't care whether what we learned was learned the easy way or the hard way.

Now these tooty stooty youngsters are picky about what their elders have learned! Damn it! They should be happy we let them KNOW about our past apache experiences...

Now let me tell you the story of me and my Apache friend...
