> The system has scaled reasonably well, and today GeoCities is home to
> about 980,000 "residents" in 38 different communities. The site now runs
> on 22 Web servers, which use a version of the Apache Web server that has
> been modified to hook into StarPoint Software's banner ad server, plus
> 14 NFS servers, with about 180 Mbps peak bandwidth demand-- about the
> maximum capacity available to GeoCities at any one time.
