Our solution is to migrate to wpMU and be done with the 300 installation issue once and for all ;) Lee @Sean

I take responsibility for putting it in, though in my defense there were only 3 servers at the time ;) Did batcache do anything about the PHP opcode cache sizes? Before I left we had to stuff 250 copies of wordpress in memory, not sure if my fix ever got implemented or not. Sean Hey Joe,

We were referred to it by Barry at Wordpress.com, who have been using it for thier infrastructure. Barry has a post with more info at http://barry.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/load-balancer-update/ @MikeD - We did look at Amazon for hosting static content, but we really needed more control over our server infrastructure than AWS provides. @David – We’ll post more about nginx as we get to know what it can and can’t do.

Did you do a cost comparison between ServerBeach dedicated and Amazon EC2 virtual servers? EC2 probably doesn't fit your application model, but I was curious if you looked into it. Great news!
