I was very proud back in the day when one of our shared hosting clients got Slashdotted and other than warming the room a bit extra our infrastructure never wavered. The secret at the time - in my opinion - was that we had the database running on a second Dell PowerEdge Server in the the quarter rack instead of all on the same machine. These were PIII 677 Mhz days before multicore.

That's awesome work. I miss the days from the 90s when we were still figuring out the more basic things, i.e. everything - and they were often our own learnings more than refinements on learning about what someone else did and put in the "discovered domain" so as to speak.
