That's my dilemma too.
Uh, let me get that straight... you (GMaxwell) could donate a box? That would be great! Please talk to DaB about this, he's our contact to the e.V. My idea would be to have separate boxes for a) public, web-based tools, and b) another one for running massive queries on.
It wouldn't at all be a problem but I don't want to just end up with more of what we currently have... where simple requests just go unanswered and usability falls through the floor.
I like the idea of two toolserver systems... perhaps we should call them toolserver lab and a toolserver production. Toolserver lab for massive queries and more development stuff while the web interfaces (which tend to be replag sensitive) run on the front facing box.
This is worth more discussion I think.
