load sharing and webtest.fedora

Ahh yes...

So one option is to make webtest be a passthrough to the app
servers,  
and then have all the actual content creation and storage
happen on  
the app servers. That'd still require synchronizing content
across  
multiple servers, but it'd be more manageable and elegant
perhaps.  
Right now we have a decent setup for handling
database-driven  
content, but not a great way of managing the tons of static
content  
that is out there waiting to be made available.

Us infrastructure types can get together at our regular IRC
meeting  
time and chat about this and other items.

Best,
