> The specific setup is for ~150 hosted databases running 24x7 (probably we will change our server hardware before we reach 365 weeks). The databases are quite small ranging from 5-100MB, each DB has between 1-40 connections, but a typical picture will be around 50-100 connections for the whole server. We have no worries, though, about more connections, except that the 2.5.0 can't handle more than 500 connections at a time (this issue was corrected in 2.5.1).

Btw, you can setup several "instances" of Firebird server processes on
one server to e.g. run particular databases in a "sandbox instance"
where it doesn't matter if the something goes wrong and your Firebird
server process dies.

So, you don't necessarily have to serve all databases through one
Firebird instance. This also allows you to separate the user database,
run instances with different firebird.conf settings etc...

Just a thought.
