[BlueOnyx:14436] Re: mirror list error

[Michael Stauber]

Hi all,

Speaking of YUM mirrors. In the last hour updates.blueonyx.it was
powered by just a single VPS with nginx as webserver. I even had to take
down the Varnish cache in front of it due to the ongoing outage of the
rest of the mirror architecture. That will be fixed within the next hour
or two, though.

Anyhow, around an hour ago the Asian BlueOnyx boxes started to hit the
single mirror and it topped out at around 250.000 HTTP requests in the
first 10 minutes of each hour, averaging 32.000 HTTP-requests per minute
each during each of the first two minutes.

I think an Apache webserver would have started hand out smoke signals at
that point. Yay, finalized it with another smoke-joke. :-)
