[ic] Replication/load balancing

[Russ Riggs]

An alternative is to round-robin via your router.  Only problem
there is replication across servers....but it scales fast.  You might
also look into a centralized database server in failover mode.
With multiple web servers being round-robin'd you could handle
a zillion hits with very little hardware and be load balanced
and fully redundant.
