Heavy duty directory?
Hello,

Practically speaking is is possible to run a heavy duty directory (using Links SQL) like Yahoo, which sustains millions of searches a day? I know the database is scalable but what are the limitations besides the server resources? I am sure yahoo uses several servers and load balancing, etc., How can one use Links SQL to run a niche directory/search engine similar to yahoo with thousands of users and searches each day? So, obviously for a heavy duty portal one directory needs to be spread accross/hosted on several servers and how does one (yahoo for example) accomplish this?

thanks
