That's 5600 hits a second, for those who don't want to fire up bc. Not bad.
Some government servers were seeing over 10,000 hits per second at the peak, about double CNN's load. So does anyone have any practical/technical advise on how the government sites could have done better. Be carefull about following IBM's webhosting manager J.D. Zeeman's example of foot-in-mouth problem when he said "I doubt they are scalable to the extent of the ones we have." LOC's servers were made by IBM. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
