How often in this biz do you hear the term CDN? What does it mean to you?

CDN = content distribution network. Load balancing across multiple data centers rather than just multiple servers within a single data center. Primary use is for high volume content heavy web sites. Content is hosted and sync'd on servers in multiple data centers so that no one data center or server bank has to handle the entire load. Adult sites with video content are prime candidates for using a CDN, if the traffic volume warrants.

yeah, Toby, that's the meaning they had in mind.

When I hear CDN I think of the companies that provide leased content for paysite networks, like say webmastercentral.

But, what they want is the optimized server network.
