What would be the best solution?

Turn the 4 mirrored servers into 2 sets mirrored servers each set with half the data? Then change half of the video urls in my script to the new url for the new server set. The reason I would split the videos now is because of bandwidth limits on each server.

Or is there something else I can do with nfs shares and not have to change any urls in my tube script? Keep half the videos on each set of 2 servers but link them with nfs shares and not have to change any urls. And I need to utilize the 500mbs bandwidth on each server.

Which would be a better solution or is there something else I can do?
