That's a second frontend server I brought online. We'll have two frontends after this, 209.157.64.200 and 209.157.64.201. New bottleneck was in the frontend system.

So that about covers it. Added a fifth server to help the database, which was the first bottleneck. With the database flying, the backend servers were the bottleneck, added three more to fix that. Now the frontends are the bottleneck, so I reassigned a machine to help out. I also experiemented with turning off the CPU expensive compression, which proved that bandwidth was the bottleneck. Ack! Very frustrating.

I think I might understand that better in French or German, but I appreciate the effort. ;O)

Thanks for letting us know the status

You're doing a great job because it's working great right now.

You may have been frustrated...but personally, I want to thank you for slapping on the bandaids, unkinking the kinks, and unraveling the "ravels"(?). It might have been dreadfully slow...but it didn't crash! And for that.....kudos!

You know something,

I reread that and I think I get it. I'm glad the hardware and your programming skills provide this versatility.

Yes, it must have been very frustrating. It seems to be working well now -- enjoy a cold one. Sounds like FR will be ready for Friday.
