The new web server is already installed and runs on http://freefall.freebsd.org. There are several reasons for the move: 1. hub is overloaded with non-interactive mail traffic. Dozens sendmail processes require all available memory and any cgi script wake up the pagedaemon. 2. disk i/o is sometimes awfully slow on hub - e.g. 20 seconds for `man man' 3. Many disk i/o havy cgi scripts (gnats, cvsweb,ports) read data over NFS from freefall. I guess 1/2 up to 1GB/day. The new server runs apache version 1.3beta7 and use the new reverse proxy feature (*). This feature enable load balancing and distributed HTTP traffic by URL (sic!). Currently freefall transparently forwarded the cgi scripts ^/cgi/(getmsg|search|mid|reg|url|dosendpr|gallery)(.cgi.*) to http://hub.freebsd.org/cgi/
