Hi,
I'm planning NLB for our business environment. My CTO asks how many web
sites can a single machine support with IIS 6.0 if the server is power
enough?
Thank you,

IIS6 has no maximum limit on websites, so if your server is powerful
enough, then IIS6 can support all your websites on a single machine.
Yes, I know the answer is rhetorical, but so was the question...
here's why --
If you are trying to provision # websites for a server, then you
really need to determine:
1. The hardware and software requirements of each website, including
its dependencies. For example, how many CPU cycles, physical RAM, HDD
space, and Network Bandwidth is used per request to the website. What
other software components (SQL, MSXML, .Net, etc), as well as System
configuration (Application Pool Identity, /3GB switch, etc) does the
website depend upon
2. The amount of CPU cycles, RAM, HDD space, and Network Bandwidth
available per server
#2 divided by #1 is the number of websites per machine. Your CTO said
#2 is infinite, so the answer is infinite. You need to calculate #1 to
be able to provide an answer to your CTO.
