You wont be able to with jabberd2, its not intended to be used to that sort 
of scale, you will need to pay money out and get a commercial solution.

You will need an architechture that distributes components of the server 
over multiple physical servers.

The scalability is not a problem with jabber itself, its a problem with the 
particular implementation you are trying to use, as has been said if you 
want real scalability you will have to pay for a commercial solution as I 
doubt high level scalability (what you seem to want) will be much of a 
priority for the developers of the jabberd2 project in the short and medium 
terms, their focus will be to make it feature complete and stable, as has 
been said high level scalability is a big business itch not an itch the 
smaller scale developers of the jabberd2 project have or need to scratch at 
the moment, they have far more important tasks to focus on.
