Scaling JForums

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Can someone help me out with these questions?

1. How are JForums scaled? My company is using JForums and is running one instance of JForums per server. Can a single server run multiple instances (most likley pointing to different databases for different forums)? Is there a best practice or any guides on how to set this up?
2. For sizing, how many user connections per minute or posts per minute or reads per minute... etc... are there any white papers that are available to show how a large scale implementation was done?

Thank you, Jeff

Sorry for not having such papers.

For JForum 2.1.8, I would say you'll have to test. The cache engine is pluggable, which means you can use JBoss TreeCache / eHCache with JGroups support and cluster the content, but that's not officially supported.

I personally run a 2 million pageview / month forum with 50k+ users and 600k+ messages without any problem.

I know it runs CentOS, with a dual core 2.16 ghz processor, and 2gb of ram.
