 * i know its easy enough to put the database on a separate box and use caching 
   tricks to get more mileage from my server. What i am looking for is information
   about how people are using multiple web server boxes all pointing to a single
   data source box. It can be cheaper to use multiple smaller instances at rackspace
   or amazon. I am guessing you designate one as the upload/write to database box.
   anyhow just looking for information in this area from people who are already 
   doing it.

 * There are plenty of articles out there about it. “Scaling WordPress” or “Scale
   WordPress” in Google will turn up some of those. Example: [http://wpmu.org/scaling-wordpress-wpmu-buddypress-like-edublogs/](http://wpmu.org/scaling-wordpress-wpmu-buddypress-like-edublogs/)
 * For the database end of things, there are plugins existing:
