That said, I'd be interested to hear more about the yum repo at Duke since it is the default that most yum users end up hitting, both in and outside of Duke. What sort of box is it? How is it configured? What kind of load is it seeing? I'm using apache only because I've got a few virtual hosts, and with the small number of yum clients I have (spreading their load out over a 2 hour pseudo-randomized window) it's going to be a long long time before I need anything more robust. --Magnus
