Hello all,

I'm looking for advice on scaling a website (openstreetmap.org) above
one box as we're hitting quite high load. The current topology is a db
machine, the web server www, a tile server for imagery and a machine
with backup harddrive space. Everything runs debian and apache2.

We're using squid to do some caching but it really isn't fun to
configure from my limited experience. Are there other things to consider
apart from squid? What are the options for load balancing?

have fun,
