Scaling out help

Hi,

If I was to build a saas (software as a service) type of application that
potentially would have 1000 customers and 30,000 users then what kind of
infrastructure would you need?

I have built plenty of smaller applications with IIS and the database on a
single windows 2003 server. But I guess I would need a web farm approach?

So, would that mean 2-3 IIS servers, a seperate DB server, a state server
(?), a load balancer? etc?

Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you want to horizontally scale.....then I would suggest

Middle Tier machines exposing WCF services.

Hardware or Software load balancer.
