I don't know what does your "hit count" mean. Web page hit count?
In one of our projects, there are more than 40 SUN E4500/E10000(8G-16G RAM+ Fiber Disk Array) servers with Solaris9. We installed many LDAP instances , several Oracle instances and other application server instances on these machines.
The performance of the whole system can be increased linearly, according to the number of instances and machines.
In fact, I think SUN's iPlanet and Novell Directory Server are not good at performance in the case of huge data records. Because in our internal heavy load performance test, our LDAP server defeat these 2 servers very easily.
