But I did find two other links on scaling at YouTube if any one is interested:
http://highscalability.com/youtube-architecture
http://www.scribd.com/doc/244443/Supersising-YouTube-with-Py...
I'm interested in this as my latest site is exploding exponentially and were running into all the usual problems, lack of memory, trying to cache popular quires rather than hitting the mysql. etc. etc. I could really do with a good article about this subject.
