I have a much better idea to handle these files, I'll detail it shortly. But with HTTP/1.1, moving those files will pages load _slower_ for most people (since they have to do an additional DNS lookup and connect()), rather than piggybacking off an already existing HTTP/1.1 connection.
Under normal circumstances, I would agree. But the machine was just about *this far* from falling over completely, and pages were not really getting served *at all*. At least the site works for now. :-)
But I'd love to hear your suggestions, too!
Anyhow, since a new server is going to be installed this weekend, hopefully hardware will save the day... for now. :-)
