Re: Anon CVS

[Rob Walker <rob@varesearch.com>]

sounds like the 'slashdot effect' has kicked in, eh?

would community.varesearch.com be a better place to host this?  same
pipe, same network loads....

or, set it up on both boxes, with round robin DNS pointing to both
machines?  (even though round robin DNS is not _that_ efficient...)  

I am thinking that this might require some sort of co-operation
between the two boxes, which we might not be able to perform right
away.

I also have a much longer posting about questions I have about the
use community here at va, which I will be posting only to
debian-admin. 

have fun,
rob
