Building seriously scalable websites with ASP.NET with and without Windows

We're all professionals right. It looks bad when our web servers crash and burn though. Save yourself a kicking from your boss by architecting a web infrastructure that seriously scales with very little dosh.

We'll use the same technologies that the big scaly websites (Twitter, Facebook, Quora, Friendfeed etc) use but we'll do it in combination with ASP.NET and C#.

For those of you scared of linux, we'll do it the equivalent architecture in Windows (just as scalable but costs a little more).

We'll look at stuff such as DNS Load Balancing, Software Load Balancers, Static Content Servers, Reverse Proxies, CDN's, Cloudy Stuff (EC2 or Azure or both) and more good stuff.
