No way!!!!!! You sound like those who are trying to take God out of the churches, schools and gov. places. So now we take out the religious threads and tuck them over there in a corner somewhere? Nope....I oppose that idea.
You did not read my post carefully.
I want news/activism on one robust server and everything else on another. The links would work the same.
It would make the rickity site more solid, especially during busy times such as elections and important news events.
BTW, Google has over 450,000 servers. Spreading the system over many servers is a key strategy for maintaining uptime.
