[cod] Request for some help

I agree that many visitors even on a beefy machine could cause issues with
I/O running on just one server.

I'd make the beefy machine your DB server and maybe consider two smaller
servers for HTTP traffic with load balancing.

With a company IGN's size I would not doubt it if your hosting was a
clustered setup and you didn't know it.

May I suggest the use of say, dynamicDNS, or setting up a DNS server 
separate to the web box itself. Might seem a little bit of overkill just 
for one site, but with visitors like that you want to make sure they're 
getting there ;) You could also take it one step further and look into a 
mySQL cluster for improved performance and data redundancy :) Just some 
food for thought really, we're changing to centOS from Red Hat 
Enterprise Server 4 soon; so centOS is the way to go IMO.
