I'm wondering what is the best possible setup for DNN...  Is a web-farm better or not or do you give up to much performance?

I have a number of servers not being utilized and want to offer DNN Hosting for my clients.  I can setup a web-farm or not... Right now I've setup a Web Server (2003 R2) DB Server (MS SQL 2005) and Dev box for DB and Web.  We run active directory and can do this a number of ways... what do you suggest and why?

Once I have the enviroment settled then tuning for security and performance is a much more straight forward search through these resources online, but I haven't found a solid opinion on the best environment if there are few to no limits.

I should pair up the machines, 1 for Database & 1 for Running DNN/IIS

Make multiple Installs, make shure every DNN install has access to 300 MB of memory, => Six installs on a 2Gb IIS server (300 is a little high, but it alows for alot of modules with alot of caching, so verry fast site.) Make shure to set up IIS appropriate, no recycling of the APP.

Webfarms are overkill for anything smaller then dotnetnuke.com



This willgive you lots of fast performing DNN installs => Sell an install to big customers. Keep 2 installs to sell portals to small customers



Thats what I would do
