Virtual Domains

[mike]

you basically need one fastcgi engine per concurrent request. but it
seems like it can handle multiple requests per second though; the
great thing about php-fpm is soon it will support adaptive/apache
style process spawning. currently it does not, so you're stuck with a
fixed amount of engines.

15 mins * 60 seconds = 900 seconds
500 users / 900 seconds = .55556 users per second, if my math is right.

i'd say start out with 10 engines. you can look at the php-fpm log and
see how often it is recycling engines, and see if nginx is being
denied due to engines being busy. then bump up as needed. i've got a
site doing over a million php requests per day running 20 engines x 3
servers and i think it's more than enough. i can't wait for php-fpm to
do apache spawning so i can start it at a lower number and let it
adapt so i'm not wasting resources.
