Server Setup

Hi

This one is for guys who are at ease with the sysadmin stuff.

I have a machine that basically hosts a single site for mgps. However, under extreme load conditions, the server stops responding. Searching for solutions, I came up with the following:
Use thttpd (or similar small server) to serve videos/images/html) and apache for php based tasks for maximum output.
Now my site is divided into two parts - maindomain that hosts static html pages with movies etc, and a subdomain that hosts a link tracking script using php/mysql.

The idea would be to put maindomain on thttpd server and subdomain on apache server.

Questions:
1. Has anyone tried it? Did it really increase the performance of the machine?
2. Anyone knows of where I can find some tuts on doing this?
3. How much ram should ideally be required for serving 130-180k uniques per day for MGP galleries? I am currently on 2GB; and I thought that it should be enough...
