For those who haven't been living on IRC the last day...
New machines yongle, maurus, rabanus, and perhaps will have been added to the apache cluster. If DNS isn't quite updated: 207.142.131.237 yongle yongle.wikimedia.org 207.142.131.238 maurus maurus.wikimedia.org 207.142.131.239 rabanus rabanus.wikimedia.org 207.142.131.243 will will.wikimedia.org
We apparently now know how to get DMA working on those SATA drives, thanks the combination of a BIOS tweak and Ricky Beam's magical kernel concoctions.
Tim's updated the dormant parser cache in 1.3 with memcached support, which will give us a great way to fill up the memory on those new machines with pre-parsed HTML and save a lot of unnecessary re-rendering.
Whee!
