    You can just set up a script that uses .htaccess to rename files taken from the database. You would have a script that gets content and inserts it into the database or you can insert it yourself. I would image there would be a way that you could grab xml and AWS data, but I would not know how to do that.

    Example of the use of .htaccess using the .html ending.

    Yeah but if you have static pages it = less strain on the server, doesn't it?

    Yep. I cache AWS pages at 1 hour. AWS doesn't load my server, but the AWS calls to Amazon usually have a lag.

    When I sent a newsletter I switched from sendmail (was causing my server to crash) to postfix. Absolutely amazing difference in performance.

    does anyone use those hardcore Sun servers that have like 32 processors? Why would someone need such a machine?

    Big servers like that aren't so popular anymore, even for things like rendering video etc. Its cheaper to use dozens or hundreds of cheap 1 processor boxes working in unison.

    How are you going to spider 4 billion websites from one server, thepoorman, think about it...

    Yahoo has a cluster of 60,000 servers I heard somewhere...

    indeed... i was saying Google is a cluster of less powerful machines instead of a network of fewer more powerful machines.

    as opposed to say NASA, they have a cluster of some 1,000 SGI systems. Or the Federal governent, they probably used supercomputers or something.

    Google's server farm reportedly exceeds 100,000 computers - and this was back in May.

    Hmm... Google search, AdWords, AdSense, Gmail... and who knows what else they have in the works.
