[IMC-Tech] Re: rewrite rules

[Joe Futrelle]

So what's up with the rest of the sites on imsahp?

prairiegreens.org is having various kinds of problems. It's been  
unreachable periodically over the past week or so, usually at the  
same times ucimc.org has been unreachable. Which is *very bad* for us  
so soon before the election.

After the most recent outage this morning, prairiegreens.org is back  
up, but it's glacially slow. Most of the site is script-driven via a  
set of rewrite rules. There's a static section of the site,  
joefutrelle.prairiegreens.org, which is currently responsive.

I need to hear from someone at tech about when we can expect the  
outages to stop. If it isn't going to be this week, we're going to  
have to switch to another hosting provider which I really don't want  
to do because that will almost certainly involve more downtime as the  
DNS change propagates.
