Actually you can imagine the server serves a site like mySpace where people
can access their own home, blog, images, forum, etc. I know it is still not
easy to answer, but I'm not looking for an answer to my specific question.
I'm just looking for any similiar experience that can be shared and hoping I
can learn some.

Another question, how many threads do you think Tomcat can have on one
machine? And will increasing number of threads help processing more
requests? I think 100-150 per server per second is not a good number. But if
it is true, does that mean Tomcat is not suitable for large website? And
what does commercial products like WebLogic can normally do?

Well, lots of question at my end. Thanks for sharing of your idea. Any thing
will help.

Best!
