Are folks getting better at predicting advertising generated traffic? Or are people just massively over-provising their web sites, and praying?
Take your most optimistic estimate, over-build by a factor of two and make damned sure that your inbound pipe can only tap 63% of your total site capacity. It might get slow in spots, but it won't crash.<grin> =========================================== R O E L A N D M. J.
