We are having 5 web servers and 1 db for our board.
Our board generates about 20+M pageviews/mth with approx 1300 - 2500 users online (as reported by vB on a 900 secs timeout)
However, the access is pretty slow and recently our db load is very erratic. It can jump to 100!!!

Anyone can share with us on how to optimize our setup? Our servers are installed with off-the-box RHEL4. We do not have knowledge on how to custom build kernels or modules.
Apparently that way seems to be the most efficient to keep load down and serve out fast.
Anyone can share where to find such info.
For those who indicated 2 dbs, how is your setup like? How to have 2 dbs in 1 vB installation?
