Large socket servers

[Byron Sonne]

Hey All,

Been fiddling with some software called Electrotank 
(http://www.electrotank.com) and I've come to hate it. It's written in 
Java, which is a mortal sin to begin with, but I'm also finding it's 
performance lacking.

Has anyone played around with competing packages, preferably something 
written in a language more suited to this task, and capable (via 
clustering of some sort if necessary) of serving from 50,000 to 250,000 
socket connections or more?

If not, there might be a market opportunity for someone here...

Cheers,
Byron
