IMO, CVS and GNATs have a natural home on Freefall and the CGIs don't cause too much load. Mailing lists can live everywhere, the WWW search engine should live on the same machine as the WWW pages, to be able to emit relative links (otherwise mirros will have to adjust). What's the purpose of spatter, BTW? I probably missed something. I assume it's just to take some load from freefall? If so, want's the most important thing to avoid on Freefall (Disk I/O, Network, CPU, possible security problems with CGIs)? Disclaimer: I didn't came around to study the whole setup, maybe I'm talking nosense. Martin -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer http://cracauer.cons.org Fax +49 40 522 85 36
