eBay reliability problems



Any opinions on the problem that eBay suffers with occasional server
crashes that bring it to a standstill? See this story:

 www.internetweek.com/newslead01/lead011101.htm

My specific question:  is it possible to so rapidly duplicate new data
and transfer it to redundant storage nodes that a web site is both highy
available and not overly affected by the need for large scale real-time
updates to its multiple (redundant) databases.

Thanks!  Randy Hofland
