I'd like to get some questions out of my head when it comes to designing a superfast dotnetnuke installation. What about using 2 different IIS servers ... one for presenting the site to users and one to administering the site on a different url .. such as admin.mysuperfastDNNsite.com ... this takes a some work of reprogramming core code because i want both sites www.mysuperfastDNNsite.com and admin.mysuperfastDNNsite.com to work in the sam db installation space ... I mean both these url:s should use the same PortalID .... has anybody tried this approach and if so why did it work or why didn't it work?

The reason why I suggest this aproach is because I believe not every one visiting the site will login. 75% of visitors will not login and 25% will login and use the admin.mysuperfastDNNsite.com url ....the separation between admin.mysuperfastDNNsite.com and www.mysuperfastDNNsite.com is a simple routing issue .... the only thing to program is that the login/registerbuttons on www.mysuperfastDNNsite.com need to point towards the admin.mysuperfastDNNsite.com site

You might be able to acheive what you want by editing the hosts file on the admin users machines to point to the correct server.  But one issue you would run into is fthat any files uploaded to the "admin" server would not be available to the "visitor" server.  You would need to set up the site on a shared network drive.  Your best bet would be to just load balance the site on the 2 servers.

Why not run your site in a web farm scenario then use a  module or IIS that detects the IP range to redirect your admins to one server on the farm and other IP's to the other server?  That way you could keep your site in sync and any changes your admins made would be made available to your user/visitors?

Personally I don't see that this is really necessary.  If you are really concerned about performance, go with a web-farm scenario, and set the appropriate caching for un-authenticated users.  DotNetNuke supports the configuration items out of the box, and I know many very large, very well performing sites that are using a setup in this manner. 

By following the methods made available by DNN you allow yourself to upgrade and use everything like normal.

Thanks for taking your time guys ....

editing host files is just a routing problem ...that is easily resolved .... how to tune a large content site to serve pages in less than 0,5 seconds even when heavy loaded, 10000 visitors every hour is the key thing here:

# I want every module built so they can serve content this fast, less modules the better

# Caching very high

# basically syncproblems I will overcome ... I want a dotnetnuke-dragster at www.mysuperfastDNNsite.com to present visotiros with less then 0,5 load time

# any module-tuning ideas are welcome ... for example ..instead of serving menu in javascript one can serve it in proper Html right away ...this minimizes load time doesn't it?

has anybody tested if MySQL database dataproviders is faster than MS SQL standard ... I have seen that you can buy the MySQL at snowcovered
