I've got a webpage that updates dynamically on one of our servers and lists a bunch of statistics about spam and such on our servers. Problem is, the script puts a load on the server if too many people access it and it eventually kills the server. I would like to lower the traffic on this server by setting up a script on a remote server that is activated every 10 minutes by cron and automatically loads the remote script then copies the results to a local file on the new public server which people can then view at their leasure without killing our stats server. What is going to be the easiest way to do this? I'm sure there has to be a simple way to do this, but I'm kinda drawing a blank on how. Can anyone help?
