It certainly depends on what you want to do... 1) (as suggested) Set up ZEO and run one per processor. 2) Install Linux/Pythin (with SMP support) and run Zope on that. 3) Have Zope run on one processor and evertyhing else run on the other. I *wish* I had the problem of what to do with a multiprocessor box. :) Jake -- http://www.ZopeZone.com Wade Leftwich said:

Hello,

I have a Zope application running on a Win2K box in a very stock configuration -- binary install, no ZEO, no Squid.

Now I have the high-quality problem of more traffic than this setup can handle.

I have two dual-CPU servers available to host this application in a pretty much dedicated way. They both have Win2K server installed, but with a bit of effort (travel to the remote hosting facility) they could run Linux. I can get a third dual-CPU box if it's needed.

Anyone care to offer advice on the best architecture for this equipment?

I have read up a bit on ZEO and Squid; have never messed with CPU affinity, but am willing to learn.

Thanks
