Thanks for the quick response Chris. My first comment is-My gawd: our estimates produced similar number though in a more primative fashion.
Our estimate is a 6 month projection based upon conservitive estimates, if it flops it flops but we have divided our company up in such a fasion that it wont impact our other products and our income(hopefully: but not likely straight away with the money thing :-(. Akamai have provided a quote per gig of traffic that will severly reduce our overheads to a reasonable level and of course the server farm(9600 CDN). We are just trying to see if we can 'plug' zope into it because we have had such good luck/fun with it in the past. Unfortunately our server hit rate will be 100% with zero cache as each hit auotatically submits info to the database. No web pages are called. We will probly only recieve about 10 ~ 15 million hits a month for web page download(max).
All sounds like doom and gloom but with slow uptake (6months) we should be able to include zope in the loop somewhere. It would be a shame not to...
looks you're doing kind of loggin? This could be more performant with some scripts running in the say frontend apache - eating the log output from apache and stuff it into a pipe directed to the database. But keep in mind: logging - so far you dont have a decent tracing of users due to cookies (which also _have_ to be acceppted all the time) is usually pointless due to cache/proxy issues. Regards Tino
