+== new bugs.d.o ==
+
+Currently bugs runs on a single DL385g1 system which cannot keep up with the
+load that the BTS causes.
+
+Owner@bugs would like to split the BTS accross multiple hosts: two for incoming
+email and spam filtering (would not be required if we had the setup mentioned
+above), one master, and at least two user-facing web servers.
+
+Requirements (assuming the above mentioned mail system is in place, else add
+two mail servers):
+
+* two systems with fast disks (we don't need that much storage, some 200 gigs
+ should suffice easily for a while - say 4x140 gig raid10), some ram for
+ caching (say 16g?), and the CPU to handle the scripts (if we can get two quad
+ cores per box that would be great)
+* one master that processes incoming email, changing bugs as required, and
+ pushes the changes to the web facing servers
+
+Proposers:
+
+* Don Armstrong
+
+If the snapshot hosts go through we might be able to put the bugs front end
+webservers on them too. Probably a question of load but it can't hardly be
+worse than rietz at the moment.
+
+Status (2009-05-04):
+
+We were quite successful in using other hosts as bugs web mirrors (even if
+right now we aren't running any due to other hardware failing), so that is
+a more or less solved problem. We also intent to move bugs-master to a kvm
+domain at ubc/ece once the blade there is fixed. And we can probably move
+incoming MX to a blade instance in darmstadt and another one at the same
+place as new bugs-master will be if the bugs folks still want that.
