[Server-devel] Two separate sets of install scripts?

[Tony Pearson]

Greg,
Ok, I see the new topology in  your last post

XO <-> XS/default gateway <-> Squid <-> Internet 

Q1- Are we having two XS machines and one Squid box, or is it one and one 
as shown in the diagram?
Q2 - Are we going to try to have the same XS-150 build for both but just 
activate certain features on each, or try to have customized install 
scripts?
In other words, we could take the XS-150 base, install MySQL, install PHP 
modules, install Moodle, Install Squid.  Then on the XS we activate MySQL 
and Moodle, be don't activate Squid, and on the Squid box, we don't bother 
to turn on MySQL and Moodle, but there are there as backup for each other 
just in case?
Q3 - Do we want to consider a failure scenario where one or the other box 
fails, and run everything from a single machine?  In other words, the box 
is bilingual, can be either a XS or a Squid or both, and configured with 
easy to use scripts or PHP webpages.
Q4 - Will XS reverse proxy its own server content?  I have been looking 
into eAccelerator and a few others that can help speed up the MySQL calls.

I have been told I will get my Active Antenna sometime this week, so will 
be able to run a better test this weekend.
