Re: Scaling to 1500 clients - any one done this...

[Chip Seraphine]

That was about the size I had hit when I switched from using cfrun to cfexecd 
for my connections and cranked up my splaytimes.

FWIW, my clients run hourly.  Even-houred runs are considered "lightruns" and 
do little more than check the process table and react to any emergencies 
(network down, disk full, etc).  Copies, editfiles, most shellcommands, etc 
are done only on the odd hours.
