Subject: Re: Rubyforge really slow?

Ok...ok..I think the problem is RubyForge is being crawled due to the fact
that we changed the IP address.  My recollection is that Tom had to go
around to these crawlers (like Google, etc) and let them know to be nice to
rubyforge's IP address.  That MAY be the problem.  Tonight, I noticed a
BUNCH of http sessions (like 100) opened to a single IP, and so blocked it
(with iptables).  RubyForge went from dog slow access wise to quite snappy.
Me thinks this is our issue...Tom is back from vacation and I will have him
look into this more.
