>>>Does any have some general info on how many hits a single server running NT and IIS can handle at one time, per day, per month? I don't need anything specific, maybe just what you have seen through personal experience. We are going to be purchasing a server and I need to have some idea how big of a box to buy. Thanks,

>>Shane, funny you ask this. I just posted a FAQ on VFP capacity which includes two reference to VFP internet servers. Click on "new" and scroll to the bottom.
>>From Rick Strahl's site he was peaking at 500,000+ per day with VFP/NT and IIS.

>Thanks Evan, that's what I was looking for. Our server is for a select audience, only about 550 users. And they only need access 2 or 3 times a month at peak times. So I am sure a single server will be more than sufficient. If this goes well we will add more to the web but we can always add additional servers later if need be.

Heed the advince of Ed Rauh though. You particular setup will dictate the actual traffic you can reasonably handle. If you can convince you boss to have a contingency plan to upgrade the processors, add a processors or some RAM if things aren't as snappy as expected.
