We are going to build a single codebase i18n multisite. Average daily traffic - 100'000 unique visitors.

Is it possible with Drupal? Does it support database clastering, web farm, memcaching?

Personally, I like Drupal CMS for small sites but I'm not quite sure it is the right choice for such a heavy loaded websites..

Thanks for your opinions!

there are many websites built on drupal that can withstand that kind of usage. drupal.org, the onion are two that come to mind.

I think you need to go by pageviews not unique visitors because each pageview is what is going to generate the load on the server. But on that note we get between 1-7 million uniques per month and 10-60 million pageviews running drupal 5.7.

We use memcache on a single dedicated server that we expanded to two servers during high traffic. We used round robin dns balancing with the sql database on just 1 of the servers.

This is a server issue rather than a Drupal issue
