Some of you noticed that the site had some problems with the image server last night. This issue has been resolved for the time being, and additional changes may be in the works at ImportGSM.

I redirected image serving to the main web server for a few hours, which seemed to have a modest impact on site performance. The only significant error appeared to be that the server was missing at least one picture set.

I’d like to set up some load balancing/fail-over for the image server, but I’ve never done anything like that before. If you have any experience with setting that up on a very low budget, please let me know. Links to software or hardware solutions, php/perl solutions, or your experiences would be appreciated.
