Here's the current rundown:
In California:
* larousse is running a squid proxy to the web servers in Florida
* gunther is making a backup dump
* ursula is not doing much of anything
* geoffrin, pliny and susan are very sad, wishing someone would take
away their pain
In Florida:
* suda is running a master database
* zwinger is serving mail and is the main fileserver for the other
machines
* bart, bayle, moreri, and vincent are running identically-configured
apaches. They share their work directories by NFS, so uploads etc
should remain quite in sync. The squid picks between then round-robin.
Right now only bart is running a memcached, but it should work to split
the cache over them all, and they'lll ask each other for the bits they
don't have.
* browne and coronelli have test squid installations that Gabriel is
setting up, testing failover systems etc.
* isidore isn't doing anything just yet but should soon start syncing
over a backup of zwinger's stuff.
So far things seem mostly in order. Zwinger's occasionally freezing up
for a couple seconds, may be something that does too much IO. Trying to
track this down.
Eventually we'll want to move the squids over to florida, which means
changing DNS. This'll cut out the 80ms round-trip across the continent
for every hit, as well as give us bigger beefier caches.
