So, what's your cache setup? One 4GB Linode with Apache/MySQL/Lucene, two 1GB Linodes with Squid and a load-balancer in front of the lot. Pretty simple. I'd personally have gone with Varnish, but Squid is fine too. The boxes are Ubuntu 12.04 servers, just using the distro version of squid3. MediaWiki plays nice with Squid out of the box: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Squid_caching - d. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
