Well, the less the better, but I think we should go for functionality first and worry about load later. If it turns out we have a really nice solution but load on freefall is unacceptable, we can simply find another machine to host www.freebsd.org. I have several which could go into freebsd.org service now (and the machine "streamer" is completely unused). > - What's the timeframe the typical search user needs? Always back to the > 1994? Back to the earliest date for which we have archive data, I guess. I'm not even sure if we still have '94s data, though that would certainly make interesting reading if we did. :) > - How much lists are usually searched in parallel?

Usual place (for Apache log files): /usr/local/www/server/logs Jordan
