Only related to the test config set-up using voluntarily a very minimalistic cluster of 3 low-powered boxes. Nginx does perfectly the load-balancer job (very low top average) but OpenLiteSpeed should have being a good proposal too in the same rôle (untested), where lighttpd or apache2 seemed less productive, at least, at first glance.

Precisely.

Not at this time. The final release will probably not rely on a PHP sockets proxy script anymore but on a direct FastCGI set-up with the advantage to provide a way to relaunch automatically the app’s sever instances in case of need; an ExternalAppClass directive will replace the PHP sockets proxy script in the new set-up. Each app node will rely on its own localhost web server instead of on the currents ones, for yet, running on the box witch hosts the Nginx proxy server. The ACID-SQL back-end cluster will, in a first time, runs only a PostgreSQL 9 instance and, if needed, (but i’m reserved on this point, as long as PostgreSQL should be able to handle 10 of thousands of connections at once without stress), a master instance dedicated to write operations and two slave nodes dedicated to read operations and master writes replications (one box peer PostgreSQL instance). To avoid unwanted side-effects, this configuration will not rely on UDP sockets « à la Oracle VLAN’s » at all to synchronize data flows in-between db nodes.

Cheers,

Pierre
