It's more like 10000 requests simultaniously, even up to 50000.
The database server is indeed an other machine but connected to the
webserver. That is, seperated by a firewall and content filter.

Okay, any good proxy software you can advise me?
To point is more like, ppl can do queries on the website which will be
send to the database server. Now, i wish content filtering to check first
that ppl wont send very strange queries to try if its vunerable to
overflows and other stuff, especially in perl so much is still possible.
This is more the kind of filtering i wish.
