Not quite that simple, but it is the general idea. We did this for Nissan during the Superbowl. We knew that they would get a few really big spikes when their ads ran. The biggest one was when the commercial ran that showed their GT-R LM Nismo Le Mans prototype.
We fronted their systems with a web tier in the cloud that would automatically scale on demand that was also behind a cloud-based load balancer. Most of the traffic was serviced solely by the servers in the web tier. For users that wanted to register for more information, the web servers interacted with the backend DB cluster.
