I don't think that's an option, but certainly they might be
useful as a mirror, or storage for backups, etc.
That's something I was thinking - perhaps, for example, the database goes
down. At that point, we make a quick Apache change, and all requests
URLs are re-written to point at a read-only copy of Wikipedia @ ibiblio.
However, is there a reason why we couldn't have ibiblio host the entire
Wikipedia? It seems that is what Brion was asking for. If they're
willing to supply three, four (or more) servers to keep Wikipedia
running, why isn't that a good thing?
