Handling web application load

Hello,

        I'm currently preparing my infrastructure to handle roughly 20,000 HTTP requests a day.
I plan to have an Nginx load balancer that feeds into two Apache web servers. Both web servers will connect to the same MySQL database (separate box) so the web application data remains the same. This is my first time scaling up infrastructure to handle something of this magnitude so I thought I should ask if there's anything I'm not currently planning for that I should.

Excuse the horrible ASCII diagram below.

                           - - - - - -
    |----------|       |             |
    | Nginx  |----- |Apache |
    |            |         - - - - - - ----------|_____|
    |            |                                  | SQL  |
    |            |                                 / _____|
    |            |----|------------|---------/
    |            |     | Apache |
    |            |      - - - - - - -
    |----------|

Thank you for your time!
