Spreading the server load?

محروم.كوم · #1 02-01-2010, 12:50 AM

What method should I use to spread my vBulletin installation across multiple servers?
I have two quad core servers ~2.2ghz each. The issue I am running into is that the lighttpd server and the server load is: load average: 14.16, 15.59, 16.06.

Code:

Currently mysql is being hosted on another server, and the load is still extremely high.
What should I do to better spread the servers load?
