Hello,

I haven't found much on Inktomi (Hotbot's) original architecture, but I
did
find 'Cluster-Based Scalable Network Services'. In this paper they say:
'Hotbot workers statically partition the search-engine database for load

balancing'. 'Each worker handles a subset of the database proportional
to its CPU power..'

I want to use a cluster of 32-bit Linux systems to handle a large
database
of several hundred million web pages. I think this would require some
sort
of cluster front end, because all data queries would have to be sent to
all
of the nodes, and the results from the nodes combined before being
presented
to the user.

Is LVS suitable for something like this? If not, can anyone recommend an

existing open source system that can do this?

Regards,

Ron King
