Architecture question

I have an application I am planning that will consist of a cluster of 4 web servers, 1 database server and 1 storage server. Think myspace meets youtube, but no a much smaller scale.

What is the best way to create user directories and how would you store and access them.

It is unfeasible to create a real directory for each user (100’s of users), I assume there is a standard “best practice” for doing this. Can anyone sent me in the right direction.

Thank you in advance.

Edit: I worked it out, but would still like to hear ideas.

Hi,

If your O/S is *nix then, you can create soft links for the users (using the ln command). For Ex, For a user named "abc" then url may look like, http://www.yoursite.com/abc.. But the point to be noted here is the "abc" is not a directory which in turn is mere referral to another directory in where you can put your business logic, code or anything..
