Wait, its not a patch day?

Yep, you're right, its not. What's going on then? We're moving servers. Why are you seeing this? Well because you havn't gotten a domain propogation yet. Its coming and within a few days (tops) you'll be seeing the site you're used too. All services on the old server are disabled. So don't try anything funny.

svn.wowace.com will still work because I'm going to leave squid up and thats not hosted on our machine. However dev.wowace.com is down until the domain name propogates properly. We're don't have files mirrors yet, but they are forth coming. The new server is faster stronger and all that, and I've done some benchmarking with apache benchmark, but there is no way to know for sure if its going tob e able to handle the strain as well as the old one did. Well I'm sure its going to be better but it might be a little hickupickty, is that a word?, at first.

Please give us your best wishes and your warmest hopes This is a big move for us, I hope it goes smoothly.
