Here is a great link explaining in detail the design and architecture of the web accelerators on the net that were designed to support the load that marspolarlander.com was supposed to generate.......although they have no feed to push....it was impressive.
Yes, it was very impressive. I was hoping they would be successfull, because in a few weeks the next event will also require some interesting web site hosting. If it had worked, then the people who follow could just copy it. Even without a feed to push, the sites were unresponsive for parts of the day. http://www.newsbytes.com/pubNews/99/140268.html I'm very concerned we still haven't proven we know how to handle big event sites on the Internet.
