Re: Microsoft .NET frontending IBM i

Actually going back to the original thread this is a good example of scalabililty which in this case happens to be using Windows servers. 

Run out of bandwidth simply add a box to the mix. 

StackOverflow is a high volume information site so there I could see having a single instance application on a set of servers.

BTW: StackOverflow has some good info available.

I can tell you for sure that StackExchange (which includes StackOverflow) runs on more than 1 server. The last I knew, there were two DB servers and 3 web servers. They run ASP.NET MVC.
