[libreoffice-website] ordering another server

Hello,

given we still have load issues on our main web server (kermit), and all 
approaches to fix it didn't work out in the end besides some little 
curing, I propose we go for another server, as throwing hardware at the 
problem seems to be part of the solution.

We have two choices for that:

(1) Moving the SQL server to kermit completely.

(2) Moving only the Silverstripe instance for www.libreoffice.org and 
native language projects to it.

My preference currently is #2. Reasons:

(a) When one of the servers has problems or goes down, it does not 
affect all services. If a SQL or web machine is down, it affects all 
services, even if the counterpart is still running.

(b) With the web site relaunch project, we need a testbed and second 
instance to "pull the plug" when it's ready anyways, and IMHO it makes 
sense to have the whole package on a dedicated machine.

(c) Internal connectivity at our ISP is between 200 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s. 
I am not sure if the sheer amount of SQL data we need in parallel fits that.

Thoughts?

Florian
