I've put the server back the way it was, with the spare on standby (207.114.86.29). I have plans for it. I've spent a lot of time in the past three or four days rewriting a lot of code, and I've found lots of places where I should be writing still more, since my programming style's changed a lot since I first started writing this site.
The attack looks like it's over -- we've got a moderate activity level, much more in keeping with what we've had in the past. If things start up again, I'll put the spare back in for redirect and move Apache behind the hedge.
Long term, I'd like to upgrade to a more capable machine. We've got 2GB of memory that I'd like to see at 4GB at least, and we've got a single Pentium processor that I'd like to see at least dual core and maybe a couple of them side by side. That's assuming the hardware fund ever gets back to the point where it'll buy that. Maybe this time next year...
Thanks for sticking with us through this mess. |
