They went out of business because their credit card info was stolen by hackers - that was the kiss of death...
>>It's got to be the Egghead site. There used to be a Case Study on Microsoft's site. I know load balancing was used. Unfortunately, they ended up dumpping it for something else(and then went out of business).
>>VFP mtdlls called from ASP/ASP.NEt will do at least 40 requests a second on a single server which equates to 3.5 million hits in 24 hour period (unoptimized hardware) so WWC is probably somewhere around there...

>It would be of interest to me about the setup of the load balancing on top of that infrastructure. I wonder also if this is why they went out of business after they dropped VFP. :)
