Alright, well I guess i spent too much time writing my post and my session expired getting rid of all my stuff... with no ability to press the back button to get it back! *CRY*

Anyways aside from that, Ill keep this new post short cuz im sad.

Im looking to set up a cluster/grid of some sort and am wondering what kind setup i need. I figure this is the better forum to post it in.

As far as my foggy understanding goes I would need a minimum of 4 servers (or maybe 4 virtual servers would suffice?)

[*]load balancer 1
[*]apache server 1
[*]mysql server 1
[*]file server 1

And if for instance apache becomes over loaded, i can add [apache server 2] and [load balancer 1] would distribute connections appropriately? Thus being able to add more servers as needed?

Would there ever be a need to add a second load balancer (Aside from any type of fail safe for "single point failure")

Ive done a little research but nothing seems to be quite what im looking for... its all super computing with hundreds of computers clustered together.
