Wine HQ server.

[Jeremy White]

Hi Tony,

I don't know; that strikes me as overkill.  We do have rack space
for more servers, so we certainly could drop more in; if someone
wants to buy 1U servers, we can put those in.

But it seems like adding additional admin work in response to
a single software glitch is a mistake.  I think we should focus on
finding and fixing this bug.  It's got to be simple; something
is making Apache run crazy, and we should stop it.

I suppose we could start running separate Apache images
on the one server - one for bugs, one for the appdb, and
so on; that might help us figure out which one is going
crazy faster.  But I think Jer has a few other angles of attack
on this as well...

Cheers,

Jeremy
