I will be using nsf to span over several servers. The idea is to use two copies of links, one running the search side of the house with http_refer directing to the appropriate database. There will be three main databases, one with the initial search for a directory compiled from spidered dmoz data, a second for the site search, and a third for shopping/books/classified, etc. The second liscense for Links will possibly be used as a content manager, though we are also looking at masonhq as a content manager also.
Questions
1) Is there an example of a large site out there that I can compare this project with? If you don't want to publicly post the url please PM me.
2) Is there anyone out there that has ported this into oracle that can give me some of the issues ran into with oracle. I have only worked with mysql and sybase in the past, and have no experience with oracle.

Basically what we are trying to do is set up a site in manner like a vigenette storyserver without the cost using GT products.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I am not able to pull this off, is there anyone else that would like to look into this job (it's contract based with an initial payment, with a bonus upon completion, along with administration support afterwards for 1 year)
