Hi all,
I am administrating some Linux server. One server receive request, query the database, and then reply the location of some js file to clients. Another server stores these js file and serves clients when they request. Each file's size is about some kBs. Each second, the file server receive about 2000 - 4000 request. So the load of the file server is quite high.
I still have some unused server and I need a solution to improve my system.
Any ideas?

Also you should reduce the number of requests that are coming in. If there are only a few users compared to the number of requests, then try to combine images/files together. If you're serving pages, put the javascript at the bottom of the pages so that they load last. That way the pages can load the important stuff faster.

Check it out the latest Apache: you can do loadbalancing in an easy/nice way.
