"Share Nothing Architecture" is a common pattern for scaling out Web 
applications.

Generally speaking, the idea is to remove dependency between the scaling 
units, which in the case of a Web application means the Web Servers. 
Once these units become independent from each other, you can easily 
scale them just by adding more units. You can then load-balance the 
incoming requests among the different Web Servers.
