all they care about is "Yeah, well show me where somebody is using it
at enterprise-scale" ... So, I figured I'd ask.

What I mean is distributed systems, message-queues, server proxies
based on a naming system, load balancing, automatic failover ... Those
kinds of things.  The things that are used @ enterprise levels when
trying to build systems that can scale to 10000 users hitting
multi-million row databases with complex queries...   I'm talking about
building systems the size of google, or of eBay, or, of amazon.
